Welsh Primary School Inculcates Hand-Washing Habit In Children
Peter Lea Primary in Cardiff is believed to be the first school in the province to introduce antiseptic hand-wash dispensers in its corridors and canteen. The dispensers give out a hand gel that could kill germs and that way cut sick days.
The initiative is being led by pupils through the School Council and supported by staff as part of its Healthy Schools campaign.
And after just a few weeks of use, early indications show pupil sickness is down.
The hand gel works in the same way as that used in hospitals to reduce the spread of superbugs such as MRSA.
The School Council which is made up of representatives from each class is now hoping to prove the case for the introduction of the hand gel in all schools by monitoring the sickness absence this academic year and comparing it with last year.
School council member Bailey Vatsaloo, aged 10, said: We introduced the hand sanitizers as part of our Healthy Schools campaign in which we learned about eating healthily and exercising.
To stay healthy it is important to wash your hands and get rid of germs.
We have 14 soap dispensers in the corridors and one in the canteen so that pupils can wash their hands when they come in from the playground and before they eat their lunch.
