Home / Safety

Your child's safety comes first

From the school gate to the classroom, kitchen and swimming pool – everywhere your child goes at Hugo House has clear procedures and a named person responsible.

Security

Who can enter the school, who can pick up

CCTV

Cameras cover the grounds and classrooms. Footage is managed by the school to protect children's safety and privacy; if needed, parents can talk to the school leadership for support.

Key-card access control

Only key-card holders can enter children's areas, keeping strangers out of the school.

Drop-off and pick-up

Teachers receive each child directly from a parent, ask about their health at drop-off and share how the day went at pick-up. If someone else is collecting your child, let the teacher know in advance through EMIS or by phone with that person's name and phone number; the teacher will call you to confirm before handing your child over.

Health

Medical care, kitchen and hygiene

Regular health check-ups

The school organises annual health check-ups for children and teachers. There is a medical room and a first-aid cabinet. If a child has a fever or feels unwell, the teacher lets them rest, keeps an eye on them and informs parents straight away; children are only given medicine with their parents' agreement.

A safe kitchen

Food from trusted suppliers, menus that change every week and strict food hygiene. Fresh food is delivered daily, and a sample of every meal is kept for 24 hours as required by the Ministry of Health.

Classrooms and equipment

Tables and chairs at the right height, bright and airy classrooms; the multi-purpose room has soft, shock-absorbing flooring.

Play and sport

Safe while playing and swimming

  • Children learn to swim in small groups with a coach and their teacher; an adult is always watching throughout the swimming session. The pool is cleaned and the water tested regularly.
  • Lawns, sandpits and play areas are designed for pre-school ages. Playground equipment is checked regularly; the sandpit is cleaned and turned over often.
  • Teachers are trained in first aid and handling situations during outdoor activities.
  • The school has fire protection systems and emergency exits, and holds evacuation drills for teachers and children as required by regulations.

Our commitment

Teachers at Hugo House put the child at the centre: they are patient, do not interfere with children's freedom to express themselves, and encourage children to do what they can by themselves. Teachers receive regular professional training with Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

  • No abuse, no humiliation, no punishment of children. Teachers use positive discipline: explaining, guiding and praising children when they do well.
  • Careful recruitment: teachers and nannies have their background and health checked when hired, and receive regular training in childcare and first aid.
  • Listening to parents: all feedback and concerns are received by the school leadership by phone, Zalo, email or in person, with a reply within 24 hours.

For feedback or concerns, please call the campus hotline: Van Phuc 0826 688 555 · Hai Phong 0826 688 777 · Ben Luc 0826 688 855.
