The week long safety campaign aims to make students aware of the basics of safety measures, the dangers associated with excessive drug and alcohol abuse. The stakeholders also want students to know how to identify gender based violence, report the dangers and what to do if or when they spotted them.

Through this campaign, the City and its stakeholders have also been demonstrating various self-defense techniques and providing basic first aid training to assist those that may be injured.

The campaign will culminate in safety games to reinforce safety procedures, precautions and accident prevention.
