How to help keep your child safe during a lockdown
| Wait for official communication: Check your email and Compass for any correspondence and rely on updates from the school or local authorities. They will inform you about the situation and any necessary actions. |
| Keep lines open: ensure your phone is charged and accessible for updates. |
| Follow Instructions: adhere to any instructions given by the school or emergency responders. |
| Trust the school to manage the situation: Your child’s safety and wellbeing is their number 1 priority. |
| Speak to your child after the lockdown and reach out to your school for any assistance or strategies to help your child. |
|
Do not enter the school grounds: avoid going to school unless instructed to do so. This can interfere with emergency response efforts.
|
| Don’t message the school via Social Media, it is not being monitored during a lockdown. |
| Do not call the school, phones cannot be monitored during a lockdown, or it can tie up the phone lines needed for emergency communication. |
| Do not collect your child until the school has advised you to. |
| Don’t spread rumours: Avoid sharing unverified information on social media or with other parents. Stick to the official updates. |
