On  May 7, 2025, Army Public School, Noida carried out a comprehensive Civil Defence Mock Drill aimed at reinforcing emergency response protocols and ensuring disaster-readiness across the school community. The exercise was designed to simulate a real-time emergency scenario and evaluate the preparedness of students, faculty, and support staff.

The drill commenced with an initial siren, prompting immediate shelter-in-place actions, followed by the execution of the Duck-Cover-Hold protocol. A second siren signaled safe evacuation, during which students were guided to pre-identified zones under close supervision. Attendance was meticulously recorded, and both the Principal and the teacher in charge addressed the participants, offering guidance and reflections on the process.

Active support from the NCC and NSS units ensured disciplined coordination throughout. Emphasis was placed on calm conduct, adherence to instructions, and avoiding unsafe behaviours. The drill concluded with a strong affirmation of the school’s commitment to maintaining a safe and responsive learning environment.
