SCHOOL SURVIVAL

Our Students/Pupils are equipped with survival tips and strategies that will be useful in their daily life. We value the lives of our students/Pupil because we know that without them we are not complete, as such, the health and safety of our students/pupils are important to us. We also, want a situation where they can always link their success in life to the skill and training that we have provided. Some of the areas that we are presently focusing on are stated as follows;

SECURITY SERVICES

At MODEST STANDARD SCHOOLS, we are aware that safety is an important factor to consider when setting up a school. Also, Parents are particularly concerned about school security and school safety because no right-thinking parents want to lose their kids to accident or security lapses in a school.

So, we make safety and security the practice in our school. Hence the following security measures have been taken to to wade off security hazards:

1. Well fenced compound;
2. Gate to monitor entry and exit of students in and out of the school;
3. Security personnel stationed at the school gates ( primary and secondary) to deter, discourage or prevent any unsuspecting intruders or hoodlums within or outside the school environment;
4. Good relationship exist between the school Authorities and security operatives (government, conventional and local vigilantes.

Other undisclosed security apparatus are also available at the school disposal to monitor activities and keep surveillance of any security threat

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Apart from the regular class room teachings, we also try to develop the talents and provide vocational skills of our students. Students from ages of 6 years old are encouraged to join a club where they will be thought skills outside their normal curriculum activity. The objective is to provide other skills that can be used to improve the financial balance of our students in the future. Some of these activities include learning how to cook and bake, bid making, fine art and drawing, learning how to play musical instruments and dancing, sowing and cloth making, etc.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Safety, in this context, is about keeping the school environment free of hazardous situations that could put at risk the lives of students or school pupils.

We are able to distinguish two areas to watch out for when it comes to safety; viz: Unsafe conditions and Unsafe acts. Unsafe conditions refer to situations or circumstances that jeopardize the safety of your students. Hence we have able to guide against the following:

1. Slippery floor step,
2. stairways/staircase without hand rails’
3. Hazardous chemicals in the school environment,
4. Readily inflammable substances in the school environment especially close to generators,
5. Single and narrow doors in classrooms and schools without fire exit,
6. Crowded classrooms,
7. Swings without soft landings,
8. Nearby single,
9. Narrow gate into the school premises.

Fire extinguishers are available, fire drill is a culture to us, and there is general knowledge about safety among students.

We provide our students with some safety tips so that they will know what to do when hazards occur. Some of which include fire safety training; matching to muster point when alarm is rang; importance of head helmet when riding motor bicycles; training on the use of pedestrian bridges and how to cross the road when it is not available.

DISCIPLINE AND ETIQUETTE

We imbibe discipline in our student; teaching them how to always respect elderly people. We also teach them how to conduct themselves in public. Part of our teaching includes how to eat in public place; How to place fork and knife on the table while eating; dressing etiquette; how to speak good English and saying the right thing at the right time. All these give our students an edge to socialize easily in public places.
