In what is acclaimed to be the first of its kind in Kakinada, the Class: XI (Ekalavya & Chanakya) 2025-26 students of Synergy International Academy (SIA) under the brand name Synergy Teenage Trainers Brigade (STTB) designed a two-phase workshop for their parents on the seamless habits incorporated in the book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” authored by Stephen R. Covey. Part of the first phase, a day-long workshop, with all the hallmarks of Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) learning outcomes, was held in the grand banquet hall of GRT Grand Hotel, Kakinada on Saturday, 17 May 2025. The students transcending all expectations helmed the second edition of STTB – 2025 in style and substance, in the process of transforming themselves into vibrant leaders. STTB, debuted in 2024, has been tasked with accomplishing students’ holistic development that encompasses a wide range of key attributes such as skill set, participatory zeal, practical application, emotional intelligence, leadership skills, and critical thinking skills. Further, STTB, whose roots can be traced to the school’s vision and mission, has quickly evolved into a signature programme of Sri Prakash, directly reflecting its philosophy. Trained to train peer-groups across the social spectrum highlighting the endowments of human effectiveness through hearty habits, this first phase of the second edition of STTB threw ample light on the first three habits – Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, and Put First Things First – incorporated in the book. As many as forty select student participants, split into four ideal groups, embarked on a voyage of self-reliance by making their parents as active stakeholders. The workshop wrapped exclusively with a plethora of presentations, role-plays, puzzles, hands-on escapades, shared experiences, and analysis, inter alia, offered the parents a completely interactive and engaging experience at full throttle. The current edition of STTB even prompted deep reflections on effective decision-making, open communication, understanding, and support between parents and their children. Parents enthused by the innovative ideas of the workshop were highly appreciative of students and their passion to excel holistically. Sri Ch. Vijay Prakash, Director of the school, said that STTB stands as a towering testimony to the changing psychological landscape of students with greater inclination towards noble qualities such as empathy, compassion, communication, responsibility, adaptability, and collaboration. Senior Principal Sri M.V.V.S. Murthy, Principal of SPSS, KKD Smt M. Sreedevi, Academic Coordinators, Teachers, students, school’s alumni, and well-wishers graced the occasion. It has been officially announced that the second phase of the STTB- 2025 workshop covering the remaining four habits from the book will be conducted in the later half of this academic year.
