School is a
part of society. It comes from it and gives back to it. It thus makes great
sense to include the community members in the process of Education. We joined hands with many external organizations to provide a holistic educational
experience to our learners- to take them beyond the three R?s-to make them life
ready.
This
Road Safety Awareness program is one such initiative. It's a
subject even the youngest children know something about because everyone uses
roads, and road danger impacts everyone. Road
crashes are a major cause of injury among the young, with the risk rising as
children reach secondary school age and have more independence.
Thus,
this program was aimed to educate students about the traffic rules that they
should abide by when they are on the road regardless whether it?s pedestrians
or driving vehicles.
The Primary
wing children were made aware about the traffic rules and symbols through
fun filled activities, the senior students -who will soon be driving on Indian
roads-were sensitized about safe driving practices.
We believe that a child who learns about traffic rules and road
discipline will grow up to be a law-abiding citizen. The habit of obeying
traffic rules teaches a person a sense of responsibility, empathy for others
and respecting the other person?s rights which is so important.
We sincerely hope that our children will communicate the take-aways of
this program to their parents and ensure that they follow the ?Rules Of the
Road?
