A Two-Day Workshop on “How to be Assertive and Confident”

A two-day workshop (August 27 – August 28, 2021) on “How to be Assertive and Confident” was conducted at Lawrence College for VIII and IX grade students by “Innovative Research Universities, Australia” in collaboration with “Initiate Learning” represented by Ms. Sabeeh Qayyum (Country Director IRU) and Ms. Uroos Nasir respectively. They talked about the significance of social skill of behavioral management and communication that will play a pivotal role in students’ lives in the time to come.
The topic was very much relevant to the students’ context. Students learnt about different communication styles. They were guided about aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive communication styles and how these styles of communication can have a negative impression. Students performed activities to understand these communication styles to have thorough understanding of the negativities involved in the said communication styles. The focus of the training remained on developing ‘assertive behavior’ and communication.
The students were introduced to the assertive style of communication. The trainers guided the students on how to remain assertive while respecting the rights of others. The trainers emphasized on the power of saying “No” to any wrong or unseemly demands.
The participation of students during the session was commendable. They asked pertinent questions from the guest speakers. The trainers kept the students engaged in different activities to keep them focused in the session.
Overall, it was a good session for the students as it intrigued their mind to think and behave assertively.

LCGG & ROZAN join hands for Child Protection Project

LCGG is committed to provide a safe and secure environment for all its students. As a responsible organization, we actively seek to promote the welfare of every student in our charge and ensure that they are protected from any harm (emotional, physical, or sexual). To raise awareness about this subject, LCGG collaborated with ROZAN to train the teaching and non-teaching staff on how to safeguard children’s basic rights, guide students to protect themselves, and build a strong communication bridge with the caretakers.

On 23rd August, 2021, training session was conducted with the child protection officers by the ROZAN facilitators Mrs. Zehra Kamal, a renowned psychologist, and Mr. Babar Bashir Managing Director, who effectively highlighted the theme and its significance in today’s world. Three interactive orientation sessions were also conducted with the different groups of students of Senior School, and it was a pleasure to see their active participation and positive response. Students’ feedback clearly reflects that they have ample background information and now the only need is to channelize it properly. For building blocks on this prior knowledge trainers are planning to hold such sessions for both Prep and Junior school boys in near future.

We hope that with this training session we have successfully achieved our objective to create awareness regarding this topic ensuring that our students now will feel more secure and confident. We will continue with this collaboration in future too to strengthen the skills of teaching and non-teaching staff along with the young Gallians for this particular subject. Three more sessions are planned with ROZAN during September/October 2021.
