Bunkyo Gakuin Girls' Junior High School and High School: School Clinic and Health Newsletters

Other languages :    Arabic, Indonesian

Since wearing of masks were required in the school life including club activities under the Covid-19 crisis, we need to be more careful about heat stroke during the summer compared to normal times. Particularly for club activities, for those who feel unwell during the summer vacation period, the emergency kits are prepared to measure your body temperature and provide initial treatment to use by students themselves.
Since it is important to raise the awareness of each student and gain the understanding of their parents as well as the school's measures against the Covid-19 crisis, Bunkyo Gakuin Girls' Junior and Senior High School has disseminated corona-related information through Health newsletter. The school clinic is also used to ease the mental stress of school life by furnishing stuffed animals, as direct interaction among friends is limited due to the Covid-19 crisis.
