Demonstrating discipline and awareness, they followed instructions precisely and protected their heads with their hands, as outlined in the safety protocols. The drill reinforced the school's commitment to safety and emergency preparedness. It provided hands-on experience and highlighted the importance of readiness in unforeseen situations. During the post-drill session, teachers conducted classroom discussions to recap key safety guidelines.
