Emergencies and Natural Disasters

DOSCEL schools are well prepared to deal with emergency situations.

Each school has an emergency management plan that identifies procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. If an emergency should occur, the school emergency management team is quickly established to support and meet the needs of students and families.

If there is an emergency situation during the school day, the safety and wellbeing of students will be the highest priority. No student details will be released to anyone other than those authorised on their enrolment form.

To assist schools to prepare for and manage emergencies, we ask you to:

• Ensure your child’s emergency contact details held by the school are up to date
• Ensure school staff are alerted to any special medical or dietary requirements of your child
• Notify the school principal of any emergency situation involving your child.
