Puxi Campus Grades 1–3: Fire Drill

September 23, 2020

On September 23rd during PG class time, the lower primary section of SHSID conducted a fire drill with students. Every school year, we conduct fire drills to ensure everyone avoids panicking in emergency situations and is able to calmly evacuate to a safe place. In this way, we protect ourselves and avoid injury.

As soon as the fire alarm bell rang, the teachers asked the students to stop what they were doing, and each class quickly formed two lines. Everyone immediately took out towels, covered their mouths and noses, and evacuated the primary building as soon as possible by following the designated escape routes. Each emergency exit had a teacher standing by that was responsible for evacuating the crowd and maintaining discipline. Once each grade arrived at their designated safe area, the class teachers counted the number of people. After the teachers confirmed that all students were present, the first fire drill concluded successfully. The students were then led back to their classes.

Every year’s fire drill has great significance. This reminds us that when we encounter an emergency, we should remain calm and evacuate to a safe area. Although the second and third graders have previously experienced fire drills, they could still follow the teachers’ instructions and set a good example for the new first graders. It was the first fire drill the grade one students have participated in, but they still behaved very well. They listened to their teachers’ instructions, quietly lined up, and closely followed the classmates one by one. Under the leadership of the class teachers, they also quickly arrived at the safety area. We believe that through these fire drills, the students will definitely enhance their awareness of the safe evacuation procedure.
