Emergency Information

Emergencies can happen at any time. Our school is prepared and has a plan in place to respond to emergencies to these to minimise the effect on students and staff.

 

At Southland Girls’ High School, we take the safety of our students and staff very seriously. Our responsibility includes identifying and reducing potential risks, preparing for and responding to emergencies, and managing the recovery from crisis situations that affect our students, staff and the school environment.

Key staff are part of a crisis management team and are responsible to carry out the different response plans for our school.

During the year we have a number of EMERGENCY PRACTICE DRILLS (fire, earthquake and lockdown) to ensure that our staff and students are both aware of emergency procedures and know how to respond quickly and effectively to them. The school EVACUATION AREA is behind the Janetta McStay block in the backfield.

I agree to do the following to make this happen:

  • Show courtesy and consideration to others.
  • Follow the rules and instructions of staff and other supervisors at the events.
  • Look after myself and my personal belongings.
  • Declare medical conditions that could affect participation in the events.
  • Accept the rules set by the school for the events.

I understand that my parents / caregivers will be contacted and I may be sent home at their expense if:

  • My actions are considered unacceptable by staff / supervisors of these events.
  • I breach the behaviour / discipline standards of the school.
  • My actions put me or others in any danger.
