Special Guest Leads Workshop for International Baccalaureate Sports Science Students

March 05, 2026

Our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Sports, Exercise, Health Science students welcomed guest speaker Mr. Nicholas Lee, mental health counselor who facilitated an engaging workshop on managing stress and anxiety. He shared practical coping strategies designed to support students in high-performance settings.

With the demands of the IB Diploma Programme, learning effective stress-management techniques is an essential skill for maintaining both academic performance and overall well-being.

Mr. Lee emphasized that while individuals may not always be able to control their thoughts, they can change how they respond to them. He introduced key techniques including recognize, regroup, refocus, and positive self-talk. Students also participated in discussions and exercises to explore how these strategies can be applied during exams, competitions, and other high-pressure situations.

The workshop provided valuable tools that students can continue to apply both in their academic work and in their athletic pursuits.
