Our emergency exercise - based on a snow emergency trapping students at a hostel without power or phone services - has now ended.
Although it was a "paper exercise" we were able to test our emergency contact systems and discovered one or two areas for improved planning by carrying out the exercise. We were also able to confirm that our emergency planning procedures are operating effectively across most areas.
Thank you to all the parents who contacted us confirming receipt of text and email messages. This helped us confirm our database is up-to-date. A reminder to all parents, that in the event of a major emergency we will contact you by text or email in the first instance. Our E-blog page on the hostelive site will also carry emergency messages as well as information and advice for parents in the event of an emergency. That information and advice is also available for download from the hostelive site if you wish to keep a hard copy at home.
Once again thank you for your cooperation and we wish you a happy, emergency-free holiday with your children.
kind regards,
Mark Templeton
