This Sunday we had a counselling session for Std 10 Sitaras and their parents. The board exams are approaching and our Sitaras need to start seriously preparing. They are also a little worried and stressed. Their parents often don't know how to support the children in this process, as many are not literate. In fact, most parents don't understand any of the subjects of the Std 10 syllabus.
So we organised this counselling session. For students, we explained how to make a study plan, what to focus on, how to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, etc. For parents, we explained how they can be of help during the process, even if they don't know the subjects: what sort of atmosphere they should create in the house, how they support and bolster the student's efforts. After the group talk, we also did one-on-one sessions.
Here's wishing all our Std 10 Sitaras a great year ahead.
