REFLECTBest School In SarnathEmotional & Mental Well-being

Introduction

At Sunbeam, we believe true success is not just academic—it is also emotional strength, balance, and inner harmony. Reflect represents our commitment to nurturing the emotional and mental well-being of every child.

Students engage in circle-time sessions, mindfulness practices, pastoral care, counselling, life skills cinema, TGELF values sessions, yoga, cultural heritage activities, and safe-space conversations. These practices build empathy, resilience, and inner strength.

Pedagogy:

Reflect is grounded in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and values-based education. Students are guided to pause, observe, and connect—with themselves, with peers, with culture, and with community. Supported by counsellors, teachers, and pastoral guides, every child becomes part of a caring circle where they feel heard, valued, and supported.
