Mock Drill- Earthquake, 29th May




                                                             Mock Drill Report
The Mock Drill for Earthquake of our school was unanimously decided by the school Faculty to be conducted on the 29th of May, Tuesday, which is actually our HPE day. It was a fine day which indeed boosted the moods of the teachers and the students.
Prior to the day, the following teams were formed and briefed by the Principal and the Disaster club coordinator, Mr. Phurpa Tenzin.
1.       Search and Rescue Team
2.       First Aid Team
3.       Security Team
4.       Casualty Team  - for the Mock Drill
5.       Parents Team – for the Mck Drill
The tags for different teams were prepared and also, borrowed some things from the BHU esp. for the First Aid Team. The exit and entry ways were marked and even demonstrated the movement(s). Children were first made aware of the siren and henceforth, it would serve as the earthquake for their alertness and preparedness during the real earthquake. Each of the above stated teams was given ample time to prepare and to act. The members are now the full time members and they would be given timely workshop(s) by the school’s Disaster Club Coordinator Mr. Phurpa Tenzin. Each team is being lead by a teacher and except for the Security Team, who is lead by the school’s caretaker.
With this Mock Drill, even the PP children are now aware of such a thing and they clearly know their designated evaluation ground. Two children from the PP were a part of casualty team and during the mock session their seriousness has merely brought us that “Life is indeed very precious”. Of all, we were very much proud and happy that all were very serious and to our dismay our cook, Mr. Kanjur, one of the casualties was cheered the most due of his seriousness. The drill session concluded after lunch with a Mock Drill session with the boarder girls and boys- in their hostels.
Lastly, we would like to thank the “DDM” and “Save the Children”, for the fund, without which it would not have been possible to conduct the Mock Drill in such a manner.
