Good Morning,

Today, Thursday 29 October 2020, at 11:15 am, we conducted a school-wide “Security Alert (lockdown) PRACTICE.

We are pleased to inform you that our students responded safely, maturely and with a nature of controlled urgency. The security alert / lockdown is now part of our emergency procedures. We will be implementing security alert (SA) / lockdown practices each year to ensure all staff and students remain familiar with our processes.

Should you hear of an alert or evacuation at the school, can I please ask that you do not attend the school or phone, as we will not be able to respond. Your presence or contact may make it more difficult for us or the emergency services to manage a situation. Any information pertaining to a real emergency occurring at the school will be updated on our Facebook page and School APP as regularly as possible.

We believe that the procedures we conduct for security alerts and evacuations should be deemed in a positive light, as it places us in excellent stead should one occur. It is important that we practice these, as we don’t want our first alert to be the real one.

We thank you for your support.

Kind regards
Claire Amos
Principal
Albany Senior High School
