Every day a visual inspection is carried out before school opens to ensure that our property is safe for the day. (This is currently part of Ministry of Education requirements following the recent earthquakes). Should the school have to close for any reason, we would follow our emergency procedures as available on the school website. We would also notify school families via the school app immediately.
All students have been able to follow the Drop Cover and Hold expectations as part of our emergency drills carried out this week (and routinely throughout the year). We have been really impressed with the way students have responded to our earthquake drills in a positive, calm manner.
A good resource for school families about how to prepare and respond in an earthquake emergency can be found on http://www.whatstheplanstan.govt.nz/earthquakes/
