Personal hygiene is important in every stage of life, but good habits start in childhood. Kids who learn what it is and how to follow proper hygiene practices, will always carry it into adulthood. So looking at the importance and benefits of good hygiene and cleanliness, our Pre-Primary students at GIIS Bangalore celebrated Hygiene and Cleanliness week (6th - 10th July’15).

To make personal hygiene interesting and ensure good understanding, the students were involved in various activities including demonstrations, skits, role-play, storytelling, watching slideshows, rhymes and practical life exercises like sweeping, combing, washing hands, table manners, and basic hygiene etiquette.

School is a place where one can learn so many things. It helps the students to grow up into a responsible person. They learnt about the dos and don’ts in the school.
