The school today conducted a Fire Drill to ensure our evacuation procedures were known and understood by staff and students. With so many new students and quite a few staff this is an important lesson. At least two fire drills are conducted each year. An emergency such as a fire is signaled by a siren or a continuous ringing of the fire alarm. On the alarm, each teacher with a class marshaled pupils out of the room and proceeded by the safest direct route to the allocated area and line up in class groups.


One child in Kindy wanted to know when we would see the drilling, so was probably a little disappointed with the lack of real action.  Junior classes assembled on the tiered grass area outside Transition (Little England). Secondary classes went to the school oval and assembled in Home Class groups. Student rolls were then checked by their Home Class Teacher.

Fire wardens are responsible for checking each building prior to going to the evacuation areas. After each fire drill a review is conducted to see where the exacuation procedure can be improved.

In the event of a fire at Lunchtime or Recess, everyone is to assemble in the same areas. Naturally for a Lockdown the procedure is different and drills for this will also be conducted during the year.
