Back-to-school doesn’t have to mean back-to-worrying. The Manik Public School ensures around the clock safety and security for the students as well as the school staff. Keeping schools safe allows children to look forward to being in an encouraging environment that promotes social and creative learning. When their basic safety needs aren’t met, children are at risk for not feeling comfortable at school and may stop showing up, or they may remain on edge throughout the day. Promoting school safety creates an open space for kids to explore, learn and grow.

The three main aspects of student safety and security at MPS are:

Physical Security
It is essential to keep the school environment including the school buildings, premises, playgrounds, laboratories, swimming pool, computer rooms, libraries, toilets, drinking water facilities, school buses, transport area and the surrounding areas safe and secure. School buildings should be built to ensure safety and be more resilient to hazards. When it comes to any catastrophe, whether natural or man-made, the school administration should train staff, teachers as well as students to be better aware and prepared to respond. And this is what MPS is about.

Visual Security
Installing CCTV cameras at strategic locations across school premises ensures that a child’s day-to-day life in school is constantly being monitored and recorded. This allows us to be vigilant and constantly be on the lookout for any forms of child abuse, whether physical or emotional. The staff is trained to understand key indicators of child abuse, and be prepared to respond instantly to any inappropriate or harmful behaviour.

Emotional Safety
Just as the physical safety of children in schools is important to ensure complete student safety, so too is their psychosocial safety. Emotional and psychosocial maltreatment destroys a child’s sense of self and personal safety. We provide the right ambience to develop and enrich talents to facilitate the total development of a child’s personality. Effective school safety policies, such as anti-bullying, are as important as high-quality education, and are fully integrated into our school planning and strategy.
