With a focus on life-saving skills, CCJE Faculty members, namely: Mr. Francis D. Bicoy, Mr. Jairus C. Soriano, Ms. Marie Fe F. Buscayno, and Ms. Lian Carla C. Luzong conducted a seminar-training on water survival for the Grade 12 students of the beneficiary school.
The event began with a discussion where the faculty experts educated students on the fundamentals of water survival highlighting the basic swimming techniques, water safety protocols, and appropriate response to various aquatic emergencies. With expert guidance and hands-on demonstrations, the students gained invaluable insights into staying safe in and around water.
"Water safety is a life skill that everyone should possess. By equipping knowledge and confidence to handle water-related situations, we are not only enhancing our safety but also potentially saving lives in the future," Mr. Bicoy emphasized this in his discussion. He also suggested that the government should provide more resources for these programs to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, is adequately prepared to handle water-related emergencies.
Meanwhile, the highlight of the seminar was the practical training session, where students had the opportunity to put their newly acquired knowledge to the test as students practiced essential swimming and rescue skills under the watchful eye of experienced instructors.
The College of Criminal Justice Education extension program, which offers lifelong learning and skills on water survival, has actively contributed to Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being and Goal 4 – Quality Education.
