We at CMS believe that wellbeing is about children being confident, healthy and happy. Children desire to be loved, valued, respected, cared for and included. We feel that wellbeing is also an important element of overall student success. Students cannot achieve high academically if they feel unsafe and unhappy. They cannot be expected to reach their full potential if they have mental health issues and if we do not provide the support they need. And they cannot be their best if they are not motivated to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle, both in and outside of school.
The relationship and interaction that they have with their families, school and communities contribute significantly to their sense of well-being.
In this rapidly changing world, students face a number of challenges and struggles every day. Issues over personality, career choices, and relationships with friends and parents are a few things that greatly affect their lives. In such situations, being flexible and having a positive outlook on learning and on life is crucial as it helps children become resilient and resourceful in life.
Therefore, our CMS Child Wellbeing Department focuses on providing support to students and their families and helps them deal with or understand their emotions and behavior better.
Our counsellors provide the students with the opportunity to express themselves creatively, offer a warm and supportive environment, and assist them to make good choices to help them become positive about themselves and their learning.
The counsellors along with the teachers and teacher-guardians help to make school a safe place for students, conducive to their happiness and learning. They involve them in activities to build confidence, impart life skills, and allow them to experience a spiritual dimension in life that enhances their sense of wellbeing.
