From learning the basics to taking aim at the target, students participated in an Air Rifle Shooting Workshop as part of the school's sports and experiential learning programme. The workshop was held for Under-17 and Under-15 age categories, introducing the fundamentals of 10m Air Rifle shooting, a recognised international shooting discipline.
Trainers guided the students through the technical aspects of the sport, including standing posture, safe and correct rifle handling, aiming and sight alignment, stability, controlled breathing, and maintaining focus while shooting. Implementing the techniques, students practiced multiple shooting rounds and analysed the results.
The workshop also introduced students to potential career options in shooting across different categories, covering both rifle and pistol disciplines at 10m, 25m, 50m, and 300m ranges. The professional career pathway starts at the district level, leading to state-level competitions and progressing to national and, ultimately, international levels.
The experiential learning workshop helped students gain a deeper understanding of this Olympic sport.

A Holistic Development and Life Skills Session was conducted for the students, introducing them to the significance of developing the five dimensions of a complete individual through interactive activities, self-assessment exercises, gamification, discussions, and reflective learning. They were introduced to the concept of:
1. Emotional Quotient (EQ) – the Heart, helping to understand and manage emotions, develop empathy and build meaningful relationships.
2. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) – the Mind, enabling us to think, learn, analyse, solve problems, and make informed decisions.
3. Spiritual Quotient (SQ) – the Soul, encouraging self-awareness, purpose, values, and a deeper understanding of oneself and one's connection with others.
4. Physical Quotient (PQ) – the Body, highlighting the importance of physical fitness, health, discipline, and overall well-being.
5. Positive Energy Quotient (PEQ) – Energy and Attitude, focusing on maintaining a positive outlook, resilience, motivation, and the ability to channel one's energy constructively.
Beyond these five dimensions, students were introduced to Goal Setting, exploring short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. Using examples such as academic examinations, they learned how to set purposeful goals not only for their studies but also for other areas of life.
The session also introduced students to Ikigai, the intersection of what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can contribute through their work—helping them reflect on purpose and direction beyond academic achievement.
The session encouraged students to look beyond academics and understand how their thoughts, emotions, habits, choices, and actions shape personal growth, build a positive outlook, and help them become competent, compassionate, and confident individuals.
