Precautionary lockdown at Umina campus
Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus had a precautionary lockdown on Thursday, November 18, as a result of "an isolated incident on-site that was a potential safety risk".
"As part of our emergency plan, I made the decision to implement a precautionary lockdown," said campus principal Ms Kerrie O'Heir.
"This meant that students and staff remained in their timetabled rooms and learning spaces.
"Police were notified and attended quickly and we were given the all clear to end the lockdown.
"Students and staff assembled and were informed of the fact that the lockdown was not a drill but a safety response to a potential risk."
Ms O'Heir said: "I want to commend our students and staff for their understanding and compliance in this situation.
"They were phenomenal.
"Our regular drills around emergency responses ensured today's incident was quickly resolved."
