DISPLAN and Care of Children on Potential Fire Danger
Days
The school has developed a DISPLAN, a program which sets out
the actions to be taken in case of fire or other emergencies. Copies of the
DISPLAN will be made available upon request. In the event of the students and
staff needing to be evacuated, our assembly area is the Upwey High School Fire
Refuge. If requested, students will only be released from the Fire Refuge into
the care of their own parents or guardians. Given that the fire refuge is a safe
place for all members of the Upwey community, we urge all parents not to remove
their children until the authorities have indicated that it is safe to do so.
All parents are encouraged to send their children to school on Total Fire Ban
Days.
