In response to the International Day of the Girl Child (October 11) this year, the school launched a campaign for students to draw pictures on the topics of “Prevention of violence and abuse against girls” and “Vision of the future of girls”.

After more than 1 month of implementation, 45 paintings were selected for display. The content of the paintings is rich, the presentation is vivid, highlighting the theme.

"Among many forms of propaganda, we decided to organize students to draw pictures. Because through visual and vivid images, students will remember longer. From there, it contributes to raising their awareness of the issue of preventing and combating child abuse, especially against girls," said Mr. Nguyen The Hao, Principal of Ha Dong Secondary School.

In addition to displaying at the communication event in response to International Day of the Girl Child, the school will then display in the Art Room, in the Youth Union and Team activity rooms, and in the school hallways.
