Hello everyone, I'm excited to share my experiences with you today in one of the community schools we visited, it was an interesting moment reaching out these younger minds on how to maximize school environment and still stay safe without been hurt or wounded especially during play. Meanwhile, it was an unexpected visit, do you remember doing those days in school when a group of persons came to talk to you, the excitement of snapping pictures with them probably been given a particular gift or things or been called out as the most neat students or pupils. It was right from the school gate as we approach the administrative block that we first met this beautiful damsel with attractive smile on her face, her smile alone was enough evidence that we are actually in a rigght place to share knowledge and impact lives.
So, roday, we decided to reach out to Covenant Community schools in order to share with the students some key safety measures in schools, school safety or safety in school environment should remain top priority, I joined Nigeria Innovative Engineer Scientist And Allied Technologists (NIESAT) Under National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) during Community Development Services (CDS) to sensitize the younger generation about some key safety methods in the school environment to avoid harming themselves while playing or participating in sport or normal school activities.
Meanwhile, safety remains top priority whether in school, church, home or workplace, therefore, children needs more safety measures especially in school since they involve in restless plays most times. It became so imperative to ensure that students/pupils physical and emotional well-being which is very crucial for their academic success and overall development are save. One of the outstanding aspects that the students were enlightened on includes physical safety, creating aware towards the development plans for natural disasters, fires, and other emergencies incase they found themselves in such situations and how they can navigate through since such incidences are far from human existence. Meanwhile, school management/owner were reach out to in ensuring that surveillances are considered in ensuring that cameras, alarms, and other security measures are been put in place against such unexpected occurrence
Also, emotional and social safety of the students against bullying and implementing policies and programs to prevent bullying while ensuring support services that cater for counseling and mental health. It an interesting reaching out to these children and they were excited having us in their midst, of course I'm happy that I took part. Wr have already made plans on how to support these children with learning materials in order to boost their learning ability. Safety environment with good learning facilities leads to improved performance. Thank you for supporting us, you can be a part of our next outting. I'm your friend stay safe
