In a world where digital pings echo louder than morning bells, our school chose to observe World Social Media Day not just with a post—but with purpose.
From engaging live performances to powerful visual storytelling, the observance became a full-fledged campaign titled #PauseToThink, aimed at encouraging mindful social media usage among students and faculty alike.
The morning assembly stage transformed into a digital crossroad through a skit that portrayed the highs and pitfalls of our screen-bound lives. From the joy of staying in touch across continents to the quiet toll of comparison and distraction, our performers struck a perfect chord of truth and creativity. The applause that followed wasn’t just for the acting—it was for the message that resonated in every seat.
Posters displayed and videos played in every class during lunch hour spread awareness of the fact that with great connectivity comes great responsibility. On this day, it’s just as important to acknowledge the darker edges: misinformation, mental fatigue, and the quest for “likes” over authenticity. Celebrating Social Media Day means checking in with ourselves. Are we consuming consciously? Are we contributing constructively?
The healthiest use of social media blends curiosity with compassion—engaging not just to be seen, but to understand and uplift. That’s where real digital wellness begins.
