Programme Name : LEFT-HANDERS DAY
Date : 12 August 2026
Venue : General Classroom
Headed by : Teachers
Left-Handers Day was observed on 12 August 2026 in the General Classroom to create awareness about the experiences, challenges, and unique abilities of left-handed individuals.
The programme began with a brief description of Left-Handers Day given by Myrtle Ma’am. She explained the significance of the day and highlighted the importance of respecting and accepting people who use their left hand as their dominant hand.
As part of the activity, the students were asked to write two sentences using their left hand. This activity helped the students understand the difficulties faced by people who are naturally left-handed. One of the students, who was already left-handed, was asked to perform the activity using her right hand so that she could experience the difficulty of writing with her non-dominant hand.
Following this, Kshema, a left-handed student, was invited to share her personal experiences of writing with her left hand. She spoke about the pros and cons of being left-handed, including the difficulties she sometimes faces while writing, using certain tools, and adjusting to surroundings designed mainly for right-handed people. She also shared the positive aspects of being left-handed and explained that it is simply a natural difference and not a limitation.
The programme provided an opportunity for the students to understand the experiences of left-handed people through direct participation and personal sharing. It also encouraged acceptance, inclusivity, and respect for individual differences.
Overall, the Left-Handers Day activity was informative and engaging. It helped the students develop greater awareness and empathy towards left-handed individuals and reinforced the message that individual differences should be respected and celebrated.
