Tawa College Lockdown Drill 2025

Tuesday 20th May 2025

As part of keeping our school safe we need to be able to respond safely and quickly to a range of emergency situations. We work alongside an independent company, Harrison Tew®, who specialise in emergency management planning for schools.

As part of maintaining our emergency procedures in our school, we will be conducting our annual Lockdown drill next Tuesday 20th May as noted on the school calendar.

During the exercise you will receive a notification from the school, so it is important that you have our school app set up on your mobile device. The notification will emphasise that this is an exercise/practice.

In a genuine incident, should you become aware of a lockdown or evacuation at the school, can I please ask that you not come onto the school grounds or phone us, as we will not be able to respond. Your presence or contact may make it more difficult for us or the emergency services to manage a situation. We thank you for your support.
