As part of the school’s continuous commitment to safety and facility improvement, the installation of safety grills at the Lower Ground Comfort Room (CR) has been successfully completed under the Brigada on the Go initiative.

The project aimed to enhance the security and protection of learners by installing sturdy safety barriers in identified areas of concern. These improvements help prevent accidents and ensure a safer environment, especially in frequently used spaces like the comfort rooms.

The successful completion of the project was made possible through the dedicated efforts of Sir Audry Talabis, with strong support from the school’s non-teaching personnel. Their teamwork and commitment reflect the true spirit of Brigada Eskwela, extending beyond scheduled activities to address urgent school needs.

Completed on April 20, 2026, this initiative highlights the school’s proactive approach in maintaining a safe, secure, and learner-friendly environment.

The Department of Education Baguio Schools Division has reinforced its commitment to eliminating va**ng and smoking among students by issuing Division Memorandum No. 392-2025, supporting the city’s Smoke-Free Ordinance.

Dr. Arlene Awing, Medical Officer of the DepEd SDO Baguio, highlights this reiteration, aligning with existing DepEd and SDO guidelines prohibiting to***co use and electronic ni****ne delivery systems in schools.

Key provisions of the policies include: Strictly prohibiting smoking and va**ng in all areas of schools and DepEd offices. Selling, advertising, and promoting to***co and e-cigarette products within a 100-meter radius of any school or DepEd office are strictly prohibited.

Disciplinary actions are to be directed by school heads and offices in accordance with existing rules and regulations for any violation of these policies. Employees are reminded to set a positive example for students by strictly adhering to this policy. We invite everyone to take an active role in creating a 100% cigarette smoke- and vape-free environment for the benefit of the entire school community.

This March 24, 2026, the Department of Education released DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026 titled Guidelines on Ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment. Consistent with the DepEd’s principle of promoting the welfare, safety, and security of learners, the Guidelines on Ensuring a Safe and Motivating Learning Environment are hereby adopted.

This Order reflects the DepEd’s commitment to promoting the welfare, safety, and motivating environment, with particular focus on mitigating cases of LRP (child abuse, violence, bullying, etc.) concerns nationwide.

Both of these actions are DepEd’s commitment to providing spaces for enrichment and growth for students nationwide.

DepEd roots its order from the City’s comprehensive anti-va**ng and anti-smoking ordinance number 34, series of 2017, regulating its use, sale, and distribution within the city, and RA 11900 or the Vaporized Ni****ne and Non-Ni****ne Products Regulation Act of 2022. Respectively, the ordinance prevents the sale of vapes and ci******es within a 100-meter radius of a school, while RA 11900 prohibits the sale of flavored vapes.
