PRE-TEACHER’S DAY CELEBRATION WITH S.E.C. TEACHERS: A CREATIVE, THERAPEUTIC WORKSHOP
On September 3rd 2024, ahead of Teacher’s Day, the Rotary Club hosted a special Pre-Teacher’s Day celebration with the dedicated teachers of the Society for the Education of the Challenged (S.E.C.), recognising their invaluable role in shaping futures for children with special needs.
In a surprise workshop, each teacher was given a drawing board, acrylic paints, and brushes, which initially led to some apprehension. However, artist Shital Mehta soon eased their doubts, guiding them through a beautiful, hands-on session themed around Birch Trees. Her inspiring illustrations brought out hidden talents, turning the workshop into a joyful and reflective experience. By the end, each teacher proudly held a personal creation—a therapeutic outlet and a lovely keepsake.
This creative session offered a refreshing break for the teachers, supporting their well-being and emotional health as they continue their essential work with renewed enthusiasm.
