As part of the Global Handwashing Day celebration, Pearl School, Al Dafna Campus, organised a Hand Hygiene Workshop for Grade 1 students. The school conducted this informative session in collaboration with one of our parents, Dr. Shweta Varghese.

The workshop aimed to teach young learners the importance of proper hand hygiene in preventing infections and maintaining good health. During the session, Dr. Shweta explained why regular handwashing plays an important role in keeping germs away. She also highlighted the key times when students should wash their hands, especially before eating and after using the washroom.

Furthermore, Dr. Shweta demonstrated the correct handwashing steps using simple hand movements. The students actively participated by observing and practising each step along with her. This interactive approach helped them understand the correct handwashing technique and encouraged them to follow healthy hygiene habits in their daily lives.

The Hand Hygiene Workshop also highlighted the importance of developing good personal hygiene practices from an early age. Through practical demonstrations and active participation, students learned how simple everyday actions can protect their health and prevent the spread of infections.

Moreover, this initiative supported Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – Good Health and Well-being by promoting healthy hygiene practices and infection prevention. It also contributed to SDG 4 – Quality Education by providing students with essential health education. Additionally, the session supported SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals by strengthening parent-school collaboration and encouraging shared efforts towards student well-being.

The workshop offered a valuable learning experience for our young learners. By understanding and practising proper handwashing techniques, students took an important step towards building healthier habits and creating a cleaner, healthier school community.
