Important Information

Emergency Management Training

During Term 4 we will be testing our emergency procedures to ensure that the

School Community are familiar with their role, should such an event occur. These

evacuation safety drills and lock down safety drills will occur at random. If you are

in the school, visiting during these times, we ask that you follow Staff directions. If

you are about to enter the school, you may be asked to leave and return later.

We will try to minimise any inconvenience, however, as in real emergencies,

students may not be available to be picked up until after the practise drill has

concluded.

Thank you for your understanding as we promote safety preparedness throughout

our School Community.

CURRICULUM TOPIC: Celebrations around the world

We will be focusing on Chinese New Year, Remembrance Day, Holi festival, Diwali, Mel-

setting, events)
