Pudong Campus: Fire Drill

September 30, 2025

Recently, SHSID Pudong Campus organized the autumn semester fire drill for all teachers and students from Grades 1 to 5. This event was not only a vital component of the school's safety education program but also served as a live test of the feasibility and effectiveness of the emergency response plan. By simulating a highly realistic fire scenario, the drill further improved the speed of response and collaboration among teachers and students, providing valuable experience for campus safety practices.


As the alarm sounded, the entire teaching building was placed into emergency mode. Homeroom teachers maintained composure and quickly organized the evacuation. Grades 1–3 exited through the nearest first-floor exits, while Grades 4–5 followed designated routes from the second floor in an orderly fashion. Throughout the drill, students carefully followed the practiced safety protocols— lowering their posture, covering their mouths and noses, and moving swiftly. Teachers were stationed in corridors and on stairways to provide guidance and prevent congestion or confusion. The evacuation was tense yet orderly, achieving the goal of being "fast but not chaotic, steady yet efficient."





Within five minutes, all teachers and students had safely gathered at the designated assembly points on the playground. Homeroom teachers immediately conducted roll calls and raised green indicator signs to confirm that all students were safe and accounted for. This step not only demonstrated the importance of discipline but also highlighted the role of class cooperation and accountability. With the last green sign raised, the drill successfully concluded.



Following the drill, the teachers reviewed the evacuation process. They praised students for their calm responses and disciplined behavior while also pointing out areas for improvement, which  underscored that the true value of drills lies not in formality, but in continuous learning and the strengthening of practical emergency skills.


In addition, several students shared their reflections. They expressed that the drill gave them a more tangible understanding of the dangers of fire and taught them how to protect themselves and assist classmates in emergencies. One student commented, "Even though it was only a drill, I truly felt how important it is to stay calm." Such feedback further validated the necessity and effectiveness of the school's safety education initiatives.


Through this fire drill, Pudong Campus once again tested the practicality and reliability of its emergency response system. Moving forward, the school will continue to uphold the principle of "safety first, prevention foremost" by conducting diversified drills. These combined efforts will further enhance the safety awareness and emergency competence of all teachers and students, building a safer and more orderly learning environment together.
