Emergency Evacuation/Lockdown

As part of our school planning for any potential emergency or dangerous event on school premises, our school Emergency Evacuation and Lockdown policies need to be updated regularly. With the addition of the new administration area, our policies have been recently updated to reflect these changes. We also have a new alarm system in place with different alarm sounds for each event with our new emergency escape route plans positioned in all staff, class and administration areas of our school.

Over the next two weeks the students will practice the procedures for Emergency Evacuation and Lockdown. The teachers will go through the different procedures with their students in their classrooms prior to our practice. Students were given the opportunity to listen to the different alarm sounds, during our whole school assembly last Friday. We have reassured the students that this is just a practice in the event we should need to enact these policies.
