Walking evacuation routes

In professional time in the holiday term break, the Central Kids Strathmore & Garaway Kindergarten teaching teams practised walking an evacuation route, should we ever be required to evacuate off-site in an emergency.

Along the way, we discussed different possible scenarios, measured distances and tested the weight of our emergency backpacks.  From our discussions and our practise, we are able to update our emergency plans to reflect our learning after the 5th March Whakatāne emergency evacuation.
