Deputy Principals' Piece:

From Leo and Jeff

A message from the Victoia Police 

Due to the recent “bomb hoax”threats being made to many Victorian schools it was thought this would be timely moment for Victoria Police to provide some general advice to parents / guardians of the students who may be affected by a “critical incident” of any nature affecting their school.

 

To ensure the safety of all students, staff and administration personnel at the affected school is maintained it is requested by Victoria Police:

  • That parents / guardians do not attend the school directly.
  • That parents / guardians be mindful that their attendance directly at the school may put themselves, their child and other students at risk.
  • That if informed of an incident occurring at the school, parents / guardians be guided by the schools automated “alert notifications” and meet at a designated “safe area” to collect their children OR be further informed on the nature of the incident.
  • That when the parent / guardian attend at the designated “safe area” they request to speak with the most senior person from the school in attendance or a police officer if available.(This will ensure the most accurate and timely information can be communicated.)
