Stamford American<\/span> students take time during Global Be Well Day to do stretching exercises on the sports field and dance to music.<\/i><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 28, 2022<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Well-being has been one of the most important issues facing Singapore<\/span> recently, and there are signs the Lion City has begun to take notice. Particularly in the education sector, well-being has proven to be a critical factor in fostering confident, resilient learners. From the introduction of check-ins to mental health-centered lessons, schools in Singapore<\/span> have begun to prioritize student well-being to address concerns of stress and anxiety brought on by the pandemic. A closer look into the effects of well-being also shows it is correlative to educational performance. Research suggests that students who have high levels of well-being or who receive support, tend to do better in school and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Cognita schools group, a group of over 100 schools in 15 countries of which Stamford American<\/span> is a member school, considers well-being to be an integral factor in helping students build their confidence and feel empowered to succeed. To highlight the importance of overall well-being, the Cognita Group celebrates its annual event – Global Be Well Day – in which its schools collapse their curriculum and join their respective communities to be mindful of mental and physical health.<\/p>\n

This year, Stamford American International School (SAIS) celebrated Global Be Well Day on September 30, 2022<\/span>, with a variety of activities in line with the Cognita Global Be Well Charter, highlighting six key contributors to well-being: Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Connecting, Doing, and Giving. This gave students the opportunity to celebrate each contributor and reflect on how they can improve their overall well-being. Dedicating an entire day to well-being activities also helps students understand that they themselves are capable of developing healthier habits.<\/p>\n

“Our students and staff have worked hard this year, with a strong focus on academic achievement and deep learning,” said Superintendent Dr. Mark Wenzel<\/span>. “Part of our holistic approach to student development emphasizes the importance of well-being as a critical component of a child’s education.”<\/p>\n

On the topic of nutrition, students in all divisions were encouraged to “eat the rainbow,” which means eating fruits and vegetables of different colors of the rainbow to ensure a balanced diet. Students also learned how sugar affects the brain, how to fall back asleep, draw mindfully, play the guitar, juggle, and more.<\/p>\n

In terms of curriculum, Stamford American<\/span> has increased advisory times so that teachers can conduct frequent check-ins with their students while also offering multiple platforms for students to contact them directly and privately. The school celebrated R U OK Day in early September, which encourages students to have meaningful conversations with their peers that could help others through tough times. Furthermore, Stamford American<\/span> actively engages parents in meaningful conversations about well-being.  Workshops like “Me and My Chimp” teaches parents how to positively interact with their children and build better understanding between them.<\/p>\n

“I thought GBWD was a great day to take a break from the stress of school, and the variety of activities offered was very extensive,” said high school student Hope Ferrer<\/span>. “There were a lot of cool activities that helped us relax, de-stress and be active\/creative – my favorite was probably karaoke, and I also enjoyed talking to some teachers from last year that I haven’t seen in a while.”<\/p>\n

Stamford American<\/span> will continue to celebrate Global Be Well Day as community well-being is our top priority, and improve practices to meet the complex needs of our students and the ever-changing educational landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
