🛡️ NATIONAL SCHOOL SAFETY WEEK 2026🛡️
“A Safer School for a Brighter Tomorrow”
A safe school is the foundation of meaningful learning. When learners, teachers, personnel, parents, and community partners understand potential risks and know how to respond appropriately, the school becomes a more secure, supportive, and motivating place for everyone.
In observance of National School Safety Week 2026, Jose Rivera Bonsay National High School conducted a school-wide program on October 12, 2026, at 7:15 AM at the JRBNHS Covered Court. The activity emphasized the importance of preparedness, shared responsibility, prevention, and cooperation in protecting the entire school community.
The program formally opened with a message from Mr. Mark Anthony D. Abella, Master Teacher III, followed by meaningful messages from our invited guests and school partners:
🔹 Hon. Abundio Aguilar
Barangay Secretary of Pogoruac, Burgos, Pangasinan
🔹 Mrs. Marissa G. Abella
School DRRM Coordinator
They shared valuable insights on the topic Ang Papel ng Bawat Isa sa Pagsusulong ng Ligtas na Paaralan,” highlighting that school safety is not the responsibility of one person alone. It requires the active involvement and cooperation of every learner, teacher, parent, school employee, local official, and community member.
The participants also gained essential knowledge through the discussion on Bomb Threat Awareness, Prevention, and Proper Response, as well as Smoking Prevention and the Importance of a Smoke-Free School Environment, facilitated by:
👮 Pat. Brian E. Barreto
👮 PCpl. Marilie N. Camba
Their discussion strengthened the awareness of learners and personnel on how to recognize potential threats, respond responsibly, and help maintain a safe, healthy, and smoke-free learning environment.
Furthermore, Dr. Theodore Louie S. Braga, OIC-Office of the School Principal, discussed DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026, which provides guidelines on ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment, together with the JRBNHS Localized Bullying Policy. The discussion reinforced the school’s commitment to protecting learners from bullying, discrimination, intimidation, and other situations that may affect their well-being and academic development.
The activity was highlighted by the recitation of the School Safety Commitment Pledge and the signing of the School Safety Commitment Tarpaulin by teachers, learners, and school personnel. These activities symbolized the collective promise of the JRBNHS community to prevent harm, protect one another, and promote a culture of safety, respect, discipline, and preparedness.
The program concluded with an inspiring message from Dr. Cristina T. Ferrer, Master Teacher III, reminding everyone that creating a safe school begins with individual responsibility and continues through united community action.
JRBNHS extends its heartfelt gratitude to all the discussants, guests, barangay officials, law enforcement personnel, teachers, learners, parents, school personnel, and community stakeholders who contributed to the success of this meaningful activity.
May National School Safety Week remind us that safety is not merely a week-long observance. It is a daily commitment that requires vigilance, compassion, discipline, and cooperation from everyone.
💙 Safe learners build stronger communities.
💛 Safety starts with YOU!
🌱 Prevent. Protect. Progress.
Ligtas na Paaralan, Maunlad na Kinabukasan!
