As part of the school’s commitment to providing holistic development and future readiness, a structured initiative has been integrated into the academic framework to offer comprehensive career guidance and counselling to students.
GIDE.AI Orientation Session was held on Friday, 4th April, featuring Mr. Abhishek Gupta, a professional speaker and counsellor, in collaboration with the GIDE.AI platform. This initiative reflects the school’s belief that career guidance is not a one-time event, but an essential, ongoing part of a child’s education and future planning. By embedding it into the school system, we ensure that students are not only academically competent but also life-ready and future-focused.
A CUET Workshop was conducted on 30 April 2025 for Grade XII students via an online platform, focusing on the current academic year's students and the 2024–25 Grade XII Batch. The session provided valuable insights into the exam pattern, application process, and preparation tools for CUET. Led interactively by the school counsellor and alumini support from Ms. Krishangi, it addressed key student concerns and clarified common doubts. The workshop aimed to equip students with strategic awareness and readiness for CUET. It also highlighted the need for future offline sessions to enhance engagement and participation.
A workshop on Managing Excessive Content Consumption was conducted on 16 April 2025 for students of Grades VIII–XII. The session aimed to raise awareness about digital overuse and its impact on mental wellbeing. Students learned about the concept of ‘Brain Rot’ through an engaging video explanation. Each student was guided to develop a personalised ‘Reset Plan’ to manage their screen time. The workshop emphasised the importance of mindful digital habits and maintaining mental health.
The GIDE Assessment held on Friday, May 9, 2025, for Grades X and XII was conducted successfully, with minimal technical interruptions.

Grade X students found the insights into their strengths meaningful, while Grade XII students valued the tailored university and scholarship recommendations. The assessment reinforced the school’s commitment to early career guidance. Overall, it proved to be effective tool in supporting students' future readiness.
Grade XII students actively participated in a debate activity during their Psychology class, engaging with the thought-provoking topic: "Is intelligence primarily influenced by genetic (nature) or environmental (nurture) factors?" The debate not only deepened their understanding of a key psychological concept but also enhanced their critical thinking, reasoning, and communication skills. Through well-researched arguments and collaborative discussions, students arrived at the conclusion that intelligence is shaped by an interplay of both heredity and environment. The activity fostered a nuanced perspective and encouraged evidence-based thinking, making it a highly impactful learning experience.
As part of the Life Skills program, students participated in a role-play activity designed to develop and reinforce effective listening skills. Through interactive scenarios, they explored various types of listening skills. The activity demonstrated how poor listening can lead to miscommunication, while good listening builds trust and clarity. Students practiced techniques like maintaining eye contact, using verbal affirmations, and avoiding distractions. The session offered a practical and engaging way to strengthen one of the most essential life skills for personal and social growth.
