Safety Week: a week to learn how to take care of ourselves
During Safety Week, our school carried out a series of educational activities aimed at students from different grades, with the goal of promoting safety, prevention, and personal care as well as care for others.
Throughout the week, students participated in talks and sessions given by specialists and invited institutions. Students from 3rd to 5th grade learned about pedestrian safety and also took part in the talk “My Safety Superpowers: Recognizing My Emotions and Asking for Help”, where they learned to recognize their emotions, trust their instincts, and ask for help when they need it.
Meanwhile, students from 6th to 8th grade learned more about risk management in traffic and mobility, thanks to a session by INTRANT. Additionally, students from 6th to 9th grade participated in “Where Do We Draw the Line?”, an activity focused on setting boundaries and making safe and responsible decisions.
Students from 9th to 12th grade learned about the importance of taking care of their digital footprint in a session led by CNCS and Verónica Samaniego, where they reflected on how their actions on the internet can affect their privacy, security, and digital presence.
Likewise, 12th-grade students participated in a “Hands-Only” CPR demonstration conducted by SIMLAB-INTEC, where they learned basic skills to respond in an emergency.
Finally, students from 1st and 2nd grade participated in “Safe Smiles: Oral Health Prevention” with Dr. Pamela Hilario, where they learned simple habits to maintain good oral health.
Together, these activities made Safety Week an opportunity for students to acquire practical knowledge about road safety, first aid, health, emotions, boundaries, and digital security. The week highlighted the importance of being informed, recognizing risks, and knowing how to act to protect ourselves and others.
