On the bright morning of 19th July 2025, our enthusiastic kindergarteners embarked on an exciting and enriching field trip to the local Fire Station, as part of our ongoing learning on the theme “Safety”. The visit was designed to introduce our young learners to the everyday heroes who safeguard our communities, while nurturing in them the value of alertness, preparedness, and responsibility in emergencies.

As the children entered the fire station, their eyes sparkled with wonder at the sight of towering fire trucks, gleaming helmets, and the warm smiles of the firefighters who welcomed them. The excitement was palpable, and the learning began right away.

A special live drill had been arranged just for our little guests. With sirens wailing and lights flashing, a fire truck raced in and came to a dramatic halt as the firefighters leapt into action. The children watched wide-eyed as a mock fire was swiftly doused, demonstrating the real-time coordination, speed, and bravery involved in such missions. Following the drill, the firemen proudly introduced the students to the equipment used during emergencies, including hose reels, axes, ladders, oxygen tanks, and safety gear.

The boys were then taken on a guided tour of the fire truck, where each compartment and tool was explained in detail. The children were especially fascinated to learn about the emergency helpline number – 101 – and were gently reminded of the importance of remaining calm and calling for help responsibly during a fire-related emergency.

Throughout the visit, the firemen were delighted to engage with the children, answering their curious questions with enthusiasm. It was truly heartening to see our young learners listen with rapt attention, showing admiration and deep respect for the courageous work of the fire brigade. The boys applauded joyfully, their faces beaming with pride and inspiration.

In a beautiful gesture of gratitude, our boys presented a handmade ‘Thank You’ card to the firefighters, lovingly adorned with flowers and heartfelt messages. This small token of appreciation was received with warmth and smiles, creating a moment of genuine connection between our students and their everyday heroes.

Safety doesn’t happen by accident, it begins with awareness and ends in action.

The field trip was more than just a visit, it was a powerful experience that sparked awe, learning, and gratitude. Our boys returned with lasting memories and valuable lessons that will stay with them for years to come, as they continue their journey of becoming responsible and compassionate citizens.
