On April 20, 2026, students and staff of Far Eastern Private School Al Shahba conducted a mandatory safety awareness program and emergency drill on campus to train all grade levels in proper procedures and precautionary measures for emergencies, including bomb threats throughout orientations, activities, and a guided crisis drill.
The program started with a homeroom orientation where the respective classroom advisors introduced basic safety rules in campus, transportation, and online behavior. Followed by student discussion.
Grade-level activities were then conducted. The kindergarten department created a commitment wall with simple pledges, while the intermediate level designed posters on protecting their school. The high school division formed safety messages through slogans, short reminders, or awareness posters.
The highlight was a crisis drill led by the Crisis Management Team, where students practiced evacuation drills and learned to respond calmly during emergencies.
The event concluded with a reflection and output gathering where students presented their outputs, received feedback, and selected works were displayed to promote ongoing safety awareness.
