To all students

We understand that many of you are planning a variety of activities during the summer break. As this summer is expected to be even hotter than usual, please take good care of your health and pay attention to the following points to avoid accidents, incidents, and other troubles. We hope you will enjoy a safe and meaningful summer.

1. Prevention of Heatstroke and Infectious Disease

2. Prevention of Traffic, Water- and Mountain-related Accidents

During the summer break, the risk of traffic accidents, water-related incidents (such as drowning), and mountain-related accidents increases. Please be especially cautious to avoid both causing and becoming involved in such accidents. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime. Never do it.

3. Prohibition of Drug Abuse

The use or possession of illegal drugs— such as dangerous drugs (commonly known as “legal highs” or “herbal highs”), stimulants, and marijuana —is a criminal offense. To avoid drug-related trouble, firmly say no to any offers, even from acquaintances, and keep your distance from such situations.
