Student Safety & Conduct
Campus life at SIM GE is rich and vibrant, with a strong culture of student involvement in areas like student councils, arts and sports.We have put in place processes and operational procedures to ensure a safe and conducive environment for you to study and play. At the same time, we encourage you to help us maintain a harmonious environment for everyone.
Student Safety
The Student Development Department (SDEV) strives to build a safe environment for all students participating in co-curricular activities. We take this responsibility seriously and support it through the growth and development of our students.Safety workshops with curated content on physical and social risks are designed to educate student leaders on potential issues and concerns that may arise while planning events.
In-house CPR+AED courses are also open for students to add value to their skills profile and facilitate on-site management of emergencies. For students who are keen to develop further in this area, a CPR+AED student instructor programme is also available, subject to assessment and eligibility criteria.
