At 11:40am the Fire alarm was activated and everyone was evacuated to the designated area as part of the emergency procedure. These drills are designed to remind us how to behave in an emergency and are a requirement of the Education Department.
The Great Education Race
As part of Education Week our eight home groups participated in the Amazing Education Race. Students and Home Group Teachers worked together travelling around the school to earn group points by completing a range of tasks and answering questions. Extra points were awarded to home groups and students who demonstrated school values and behaviours;
- Being safe
- Being respectful
- Being willing to learn
Many thanks to all the staff who contributed their ideas, time and effort to make this all happen, particularly Ms Duncan who played a major part in preparing all the materials and coordinating the afternoon.
