Emergency Information


 

Our Emergency Management Plan covers all potential emergency management situations, not just fire. This is annually updated and sent to the Department of Education for approval.

 

Dunkeld Consolidated School is on the Department of Education’s Bushfire At-Risk Register (BARR). This means we must close on days forecasted by the Bureau of Meteorology as Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating (FDR) in their fire weather district. Our school would receive warnings of potential Catastrophic days several days prior. The closures will be generated through the Department of Education, determined by the Emergency Management Commissioner, based on Bureau of Meteorology reports. This is not purely temperature based.

 

Our designated Shelter-In-Place is the Building Education Revolution (BER) building, which according to the information received from Department of Education is our safe place for all students. It is also large enough to accommodate all staff and students. Parent pick up will be activated by advice from CFA and Department of Education Emergency Management advice and parents will be notified via the XUNO Family app, email, Facebook page, school website and/or phone as to how and when to pick up children.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact the school office on 5577 2384 if you have any queries.
