Fire drills are conducted for two purposes:
- to train students to leave the building orderly and quickly in case of an emergency alarm, and
- to teach self-control in times of emergency.
When the fire alarm is sounded, all students should immediately walk out of the room and proceed to the designated exit. They should walk in an orderly manner, with no talking or pushing. When the students reach the safety zone designated by the teacher, they should face the building but remain in line.
In addition to fire drills, lock-down or disaster drills will also be conducted. Refer to the Campus Handbook Supplement for specific procedures relating to fire and disaster drills.
