ADEPT has been conceptualised under the aegis of the Health & Wellness Programme to support students through structured, preventive, and practical interventions. The programme focuses on building resilience, emotional intelligence, decision-making skills, and self-awareness—essential life skills required to navigate academic and personal challenges with confidence.

Programmes under the Health & Wellness Initiative

• 1. Medical Care Facility and Regular Health Check-ups

  The school has a well-equipped Medical Room with a full-time doctor and trained nurses to provide immediate first aid and care during emergencies. An annual health check-up is conducted for all students, and individual medical records are maintained systematically.

  Regular health advisories are issued to create awareness about seasonal and infectious diseases such as Dengue, Swine Flu, Chicken Pox, and others.

  Please Note:

  • First aid is provided only within school premises.
  • In cases of chronic illness, parents are informed immediately and are expected to reach the school at the earliest.
  • Expenses related to first aid within school are borne by the school. Any further medical treatment or hospitalisation expenses are the responsibility of parents.
• 2. Individual Counselling Support

  A dedicated team of qualified counsellors provides individual counselling support to students, parents, and teachers. Emotional, behavioural, psychological, and academic concerns are addressed in a safe and confidential environment.

  The Counselling and Guidance Cell works closely with parents and teachers to ensure a child-centric approach. This collaboration helps create a supportive ecosystem where students feel understood, guided, and empowered to overcome challenges.

• 3. Value Education and Life Skills Education Programme

  Value Education and Life Skills form an integral part of the curriculum for Classes I to X. These sessions help students develop emotional balance, social awareness, ethical understanding, and practical life skills.

  Values are introduced as guiding principles that shape behaviour and decision-making, while life skills equip students to handle everyday challenges with confidence and responsibility.

  To strengthen value-based learning, the school has partnered with School Cinema for Classes I to VIII , where students learn through age-appropriate films followed by reflective activities. Life Skills classes are interactive and include role-plays, group discussions, videos, poster-making, and brainstorming sessions—ensuring learning is engaging and relevant.

• 4. Peer Educator Programme

  Launched in 2015–16, the Peer Educator Programme is a unique initiative that empowers students to support one another. The programme includes:

  • Health & Wellness Ambassador (Class XII)
  • Peer Mentor (Class XI)
  • Peer Educators (Classes VI to X)

  Selected through a structured process, these students work closely with counsellors and life skills facilitators. As part of the Student Council, they act as a bridge between mentors and peers, conducting sessions and promoting healthy dialogue within the student community.

• 5. Health & Wellness Fiesta

  The Health & Wellness team believes every child has the potential to shine. To nurture creativity, critical thinking, and expression, the school celebrates an annual Health & Wellness Week:

  • 'Empezar – A Beginning' for the Primary Wing
  • 'Genesis' for the Middle and Senior Wings

  These intra- and inter-school events provide students from Classes VI to XII with platforms to share ideas, showcase talents, and engage meaningfully with real-life themes.

• 6. Career Confluence

  Career Confluence is organised annually for students of Classes IX to XII and their parents. The programme helps families explore a wide range of career options through:

  • Expert guest lectures by career counsellors
  • Interactions with representatives from reputed institutions

  Students gain clarity about courses, institutions, and career pathways—enabling informed decision-making at a crucial stage of their academic journey.

• 7. Group Work for Students

  Structured group sessions are conducted regularly across classes to address themes related to health, emotional well-being, social awareness, and cognitive development.

  Topics are identified based on concerns shared by students, parents, and teachers. The Health & Wellness team works closely with the school leadership to understand student needs. Themes include:

  • Examination stress
  • Study skills and goal setting
  • Emotional awareness and empathy
  • Substance abuse prevention
  • Puberty education and safe touch
  • Transitions between school stages
• 8. Workshops for Parents

  Parent workshops are conducted regularly to ensure alignment between school practices and home environments. These sessions provide insight into the programmes students participate in and help parents support learning and well-being effectively.

  A flagship initiative, 'Raahein – The Positive Parenting Guide', conceptualised and led by Dr. Alka, offers experiential, theatre-based workshops. Topics have included Positive Discipline and Navigating the Teen Years. Additional workshops are planned based on parent feedback and emerging needs.

• 9. Teacher Empowerment Programme

  Teachers participate in regular workshops to stay aligned with the school's values and child-centric approach. These sessions help educators address student needs sensitively while enhancing their own professional and emotional competence.

• 10. Policies

  The Health & Wellness Resource Centre has formulated a comprehensive Child Protection Policy, applicable to all employees and individuals associated with the school. Student safety remains a top priority across all school operations.

• 11. Committees

  The following committees ensure structured monitoring and accountability:

  • Child Abuse Monitoring Committee (headed by the Principal)
  • Anti-Bullying Committee (headed by the Principal)
  • Career Counselling Committee (headed by the Senior Wing Coordinator)
• 12. Social Initiatives

  The school actively engages in social outreach programmes. Collaborations with organisations such as the Indian Cancer Society and HelpAge India allow students to participate in awareness campaigns through debates, posters, slogan writing, and street plays. These initiatives help students develop empathy, responsibility, and social awareness.
