Standing Strong: Learning to Handle Peer Pressure
As part of our continuous commitment to student well-being, our C1 students participated in an engaging Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) workshop titled "Standing Strong: Learning to Handle Peer Pressure" on May 16, 2025. The session, conducted by our School Psychologist, Ms. Anam Amama, used real-life scenarios, discussions, and creative activities to help students explore the impact of peer pressure and how to respond to it confidently. Through one-word reflections, students shared their views, examined the difference between positive and negative pressure, and identified common reasons for giving in, such as fear of rejection. Students explored evidence-based strategies that include assertive communication, humour as a coping mechanism, and peer support networks to effectively navigate peer pressure. The session ended with a reflective activity encouraging students to commit to new ways of standing strong in challenging situations. This SEL workshop fostered resilience, enhanced self-awareness, and built confidence, empowering students to make independent and thoughtful decisions.
