Syncope is an emergency condition that frequently occurs among school-aged children and poses a risk of injury and panic if not managed properly. This community service activity aimed to enhance students' knowledge and skills in the initial management of syncope through health education and practical training. The methods used included lectures, demonstrations, and simulations, evaluated via pre-tests, post-tests, and skill observations among 31 participants (junior and youth health cadres) at Bakti II Private Elementary and Junior High School Medan. The results showed an increase in average knowledge scores from 58.4 to 84.7, with the proportion of good understanding rising from 29% to 87%. The skill assessment revealed that 81% of participants reached the good category and 19% reached the fair category, with no participants in the poor category. These findings demonstrate that an educational approach combining lectures, demonstrations, and simulations is effective in improving participants' cognitive and psychomotor domains. Structured syncope management education enhances students' preparedness in handling simple emergency conditions within the school environment. This program is recommended to be conducted on an ongoing basis as part of health promotion and prevention efforts to improve safety in educational environments.
