    If lightning is detected during school or at functions and extra murals the following procedure is to be followed:

    • The educator in charge of the activity will press the Weather Alarm situated across from Room 25 and hold for 5 seconds. All activities are to cease with immediate effect and all learners are to be ushered to safety under cover of the school buildings or classrooms which ever are available at the time.
    • If there is lightning during dismissal times, learners will stay in the classrooms in their Grade Corridor and parents will collect the learners from the classroom. If an educator has an extra-mural that is not cancelled and continues during rain and lightning, then they will split their learners amongst the educators on the corridor.
    • Learners will stay in their class until 14H30 at which time they will move to the hall and will be looked after till 15H00 by the sport coaches on duty, at which time the security officers will take over the duty. If there is no lightning and it is just raining, then learners will go to the gate as per normal. Please ensure all learners carry an umbrella with them to school

    Grade R13:00
