School-Based Fire Drill Conducted Successfully

Earlier today, June 24, 2026, Claret School of Zamboanga City successfully conducted a School-Based Fire Drill as part of its continuing commitment to safety preparedness and disaster risk reduction.

The activity was carried out in coordination with the School Fire Brigade Team, whose members provided assistance, guidance, and reinforcement of proper emergency response procedures.

School personnel, students, and canteen personnel, along with parents and visitors who were in the school to transact business, actively participated in the drill, demonstrating discipline, cooperation, and awareness during the evacuation process.

The drill aimed to strengthen the school community’s readiness to respond effectively to fire emergencies by emphasizing proper evacuation routes, designated assembly areas, and established safety protocols. The drill also provided participants with practical knowledge on fire prevention measures and proper emergency response actions.

Overall, the activity was conducted smoothly, in an orderly manner, and effectively, reflecting the school’s strong commitment to safety, preparedness, and collaboration with emergency response partners.

Rebuilding Schools as Homes of Learning, Character, and Peace

Claret School of Zamboanga City stands in solidarity with the call of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) to restore safe, caring, and values-driven learning communities.

As educators, parents, learners, and stakeholders, we share the responsibility of fostering environments where respect, empathy, dialogue, and compassion prevail over violence and division. Let us continue to form not only competent minds but also compassionate hearts committed to the common good.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." (Mt. 5:9)

Together, let us build schools that are true homes of learning, character, and virtue.
