As part of its Child-Friendly School Orientation Programme (MPLS Ramah Anak), Al-Siddiq International Primary School organised a Health Education Session delivered by representatives from the local Community Health Centre (Puskesmas). The programme aimed to instil healthy and hygienic habits from an early age while equipping new pupils with essential knowledge about the importance of maintaining good health within the school environment.
Held on Wednesday, 15 July 2026, the session was conducted in a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere. Through engaging and interactive presentations, the Community Health Centre team introduced pupils to a variety of healthy daily practices, including proper handwashing techniques, maintaining personal hygiene, eating nutritious foods, drinking sufficient water, and adopting Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) in their everyday lives.
The pupils not only listened to the presentations but also took part in practical demonstrations of the six-step handwashing technique, answered questions, and participated in educational games that made the learning experience both enjoyable and memorable. The communicative and child-friendly approach enabled the pupils to gain a better understanding of the importance of maintaining good health from an early age.
The Principal of Al-Siddiq International Primary School expressed sincere appreciation to the representatives from the Community Health Centre for generously sharing their knowledge and experience with the pupils. It is hoped that this activity will inspire students to recognise that good health is the foundation for effective learning, enjoyable play, and academic success.
Through this collaboration between the school and the Community Health Centre, Al-Siddiq International Primary School remains committed to creating a safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment for the entire school community. This health education programme represents one of the school’s tangible efforts in implementing the Child-Friendly School Orientation Programme, which not only introduces pupils to their new school environment but also helps develop positive character and lifelong healthy habits.
It is hoped that the knowledge and skills gained during this session will be put into practice in the pupils’ daily lives, enabling them to grow into a generation that is healthy, intelligent, morally upright, and fully prepared to embrace their learning journey with confidence and enthusiasm.
