This afternoon, we conducted our first safety drill of the year. Each term, we practice a different drill to prepare for emergencies such as bushfires, lockdowns, and evacuations, including off-site to Wyatt Avenue Oval.
We know these drills can cause anxiety, and students may have questions at home. Our staff support them through the process, but please reassure them that these exercises are essential for everyone’s safety.
Today’s pre-announced bushfire drill had two stages: returning to classrooms to await instructions, followed by the alarm sounding and movement to our four designated shelter rooms. Students responded excellently, especially our Lower 1st students.
