Raising Awareness on Testicular Cancer in BSD Senior Assembly

The British School Dhahran senior assembly recently focused on raising awareness about testicular cancer for boys in Years 9 to 13. In collaboration with Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare, the assembly aimed to educate students on the importance of understanding the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer and the need for regular self-examinations. By addressing this important health topic, the school encouraged students to take charge of their health.

Healthcare professionals from Johns Hopkins Aramco shared valuable information through engaging talks and visuals. They explained that testicular cancer is common among young men and emphasized that early detection is crucial for successful treatment. The session allowed students to ask questions and discuss their concerns in a supportive environment, making it easier to talk about health issues.

The assembly concluded with a strong message encouraging students to be proactive about their health. BSD ensures that students have the knowledge, resources and support they need to prioritize their wellbeing. The school fosters a safe, open environment where students feel comfortable discussing any health or wellness concerns, promoting a culture of care that encourages healthy habits and proactive conversations around physical and mental health.
