Bengkel Program School Safe berakhir

Oleh Sim Y. H.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 5 Dis – Ilmu pengetahuan dan kemahiran yang dipelajari sepanjang penyertaan Bengkel Program School Safe diharap akan dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya oleh para peserta program berkenaan.

Di samping itu, para peserta juga diharap akan membawa pulang ilmu pengetahuan dan kemahiran berkenaan untuk disebarkan kepada rakan-rakan sebaya mereka dalam usaha untuk menjadikan sekolah masing-masing lebih baik serta berkesan.

Seruan itu dibuat oleh Naib Presiden Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah Negara Brunei Darussalam (PBSM NBD), Haji Mohd Suhaimi bin Haji Ibrahim ketika berucap di Majlis Penutup dan Penyampaian Sijil Bengkel Program School Safe yang berlangsung di Pusat Promosi Kesihatan, hari ini.

Bengkel itu dihadiri oleh seramai 20 orang belia daripada PBSM NBD di mana mereka diberikan penerangan serta dilatih untuk menjadi fasilitator bagi Program School Safe berkenaan apabila diperkenalkan di sekolah masing-masing.

Para peserta berkongsi pendapat dan idea dalam sesi perbincangan semasa Bengkel Program School Safe yang berlangsung di Pusat Promosi Kesihatan.

Haji Mohd Suhaimi menyampaikan sijil penyertaan kepada para peserta Bengkel Program School Safe di majlis penyampaian sijil bengkel berkenaan.

Brunei Red Crescent members on better footing

 Ishan Ibrahim

THE School Safe Programme concluded yesterday with the presentation of certificates to youths.

The programme – introduced to members of the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) as part of a collaborative project between the BDRCS and the Ministry of Education (MoE) – is an important component of the Asean School Safe Initiative.

It is hoped that the project will be introduced across schools in the country and will see the involvement of more young facilitators.

The programme by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) includes the Toolkit for the School Safe Programme.

The workshop saw the participation of 20 youths being trained as facilitators. Meanwhile, the demonstration session saw 30 youths, two parents and two teachers involved in the training.
