2. PMR 2008 :
A very good morning to our principal, Encik Ahmad bin Kasimah, teachers and all
my friends. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mrs. Tan
for giving me this opportunity to speak today. The title of my speech is ‘Safety
Measures in School’.
Of late, there have been quite a few accidents that occurred in our school.
The latest case was a student from Form Three Berlian who slipped and fell in the
toilet. Even though our school can be considered to be a safe place, there are still
a few locations in our school were we have to take precautions to prevent any
untoward incidents.
One of the locations in school were safety should be emphasised is the
Living Skill Rooms. There are many utensils and sharp tools such as knives,
hammers, saws or scissors which can endanger or injure students here. You need
to handle these utensils and tools with great care. You should also follow the
teachers’ instructions when in these rooms.
Moreover, you need to be careful when using the stairs. You should
always remember to walk in a line and to keep to the left. Avoid pushing and
running along the staircase, even if you are late for a class. This will prevent you
from missing a step and injuring yourself in a fall while going up or down the
stairs.
Next, observe the Dos and Don’ts when you are in the science laboratory,
especially during practical lessons. When you are using the Bunsen burner or
chemicals, you need to be extra careful. Remember, after you have conducted the
experiments, make sure you put the apparatus back in the right place.
Besides, the school canteen is another favourite spot among students.
During recess, it is crowded with students buying food and drinks. Bear in mind
not to crowd around the stalls when you want to buy your food and drinks.
Remember to queue up in an orderly manner. This will ensure your safety and
avoid accidents in the canteen.
In conclusion, it is very important for us to adopt safety measures in
school. Safety for students is of utmost importance. Remember the wise saying,
“It is better to be safe than sorry”. Thank you.
