This included proper hand-washing, brushing, bathing, etc. with step-by-step instructions. She also said that we should not share our comb, towel, inner wears, soap, etc. with others. For environmental hygiene, she suggested that we must keep it clean everywhere- our house, classrooms, bags, books, toys, cupboards, etc. In fact, every corner of the school should be cleaned thoroughly. But most importantly, the support staff were asked to first maintain hygiene at their personal level- their own houses, kitchens and especially, washrooms. We must always use clean and fresh washrooms, use flush and wash our hands after using.
Other than that, Dr. Divya talked about the amenities that a school must provide and we are proud to announce that our school meets all the said needs. The session ended with the questions asked our support staff.
