Empowering Young Voices for Positive Change  - St Anthony's Church School

An empowering and thought-provoking session titled Empowering Young Voices for Positive Change was conducted for the high school students of St. Anthony Church School on 15th July 2026 in the school auditorium. The session was conducted by Mr. Vinay, who engaged the students in an informative and meaningful discussion on the importance of making responsible choices and leading a healthy, disciplined, and purposeful life.

The session primarily focused on creating awareness among students about the harmful effects of alcohol and substance addiction. Mr. Vinay explained how alcohol consumption can adversely affect an individual's physical health, mental well-being, academic performance, relationships, and future prospects. He encouraged the students to understand the dangers of addictive substances and to develop the confidence to stay away from negative influences and unhealthy habits.

The resource person emphasized that young people have the power to make positive choices and become responsible members of society. He encouraged the students to cultivate self-discipline, strong values, positive habits, and a healthy lifestyle. The importance of choosing good friends, resisting peer pressure, managing emotions effectively, and seeking guidance whenever necessary was also highlighted.

The session motivated the students to remain addiction-free, focus on their education and personal growth, and make choices that contribute to a successful and meaningful future. The interactive nature of the session enabled the students to reflect on their own choices and understand their responsibility towards themselves, their families, and society.

The programme served as a valuable platform for awareness, empowerment, and character building. It inspired the students to use their voices and decisions positively and to become confident young individuals who can contribute towards creating a healthier and better society.
