Anti-bullying

Child Protection
All classes implement the child protection lessons designed to equip children with knowledge and strategies to help them protect themselves. A parent information session is conducted before the implementation of the program.
Life Education Program
To encourage children to respect themselves, the Life Education Program is taught throughout the school. This program discourages the use of drugs and encourages a happy and healthy lifestyle. Young children love Healthy Harold!
