Well-being and personal development session
To help our grade 9 students relax their minds after the “brevet blanc” exams, we organised a well-being and personal development session, during which they had the opportunity to engage in a colouring activity of inspirational bookmarks to stimulate positive thinking. At the same time, laughter exercises and breathing techniques were taught to encourage immediate relaxation. In addition, practical information on the usefulness and management of exam stress was shared, providing students with concrete tools to navigate through exam periods.
Calligraphy project
The first and third year students have brilliantly learnt to write their names in Arabic using calligraphy!
Their work now decorates the corridors of our primary school.
