One of our major responsibilities as a staff is to provide "duty of care" for our students. Campbell High School has an Emergency Management Plan. The principal and staff are prepared to make prompt and responsible decisions in any situation.
The need to close a school and evacuate the students before the regularly scheduled closing time could arise from a relatively minor emergency such as a prolonged interruption of power or from a major event such as a fire, earthquake, or severe storm. At times, communication and/or transportation may be disrupted. In the event of a major disaster information will be disseminated in a number of ways, including:
We are prepared to care for your student in emergency situations. If you are not able to reach the school, we will care for your student until you or an authorised person arrives. We have a number of staff members with first aid training, and we will be in communication with local emergency services. In case of an emergency we ask for your help in the following ways:
During the school year your child will be trained in the necessary emergency procedures. He/she will learn how to react, where to assemble, and what to expect in an emergency situation. If you have any questions or comments about our emergency preparations, please call the office on (02) 6142 3166.
