I think there needs to be some transparency OHS. People are concerned about their children & not getting any answers. Rumours are circulating already so a decent explanation would go a long way to easing that concern!!
Still no response Opunake High School??? To why the school went into lock down? Rumors are going around and as a parent reading these... I'm quite upset no message or response has been given!
Im glad everyone is safe and sound and everyone acted appropriately but i would love to know when things like this is happening so i know my child is OK me as a parent got no phone call nothing cause for sure if my kid is in any kind of danger i would love to be informed and stand as close as i can by his side until its all over instead of not being in the know and sitting at work panicking thank you.
Yes I'd like to know the reason for the lockdown please.
So... schools all over nz are participating in lock down drills and also getting upskilled on lockdowns and procedures.I have been involved in a lockdown exercise in my school. The protocol is to keep all children and staff safe before all else. Mass texts take a long time. We did get a message on both school apps and were told to refer to the website I believe. There is no time in an emergency to inform parents of the details at the time. Safety and communication within the school is paramount. For all we know the school may have been instructed or advised by police to not discuss the matter due to ongoing investigations or whatever. The school will be following their own procedures here and it is not as black and white as people may think.
Not only do the parents need to know but the kids should know so as to stop the gossip.
We've also now been informed (by several students) that they were instructed to not ask questions? I understand not releasing every sordid detail but that's taking it a bit far. I think this also needs addressing 🤔
What was the purpose of the lockdown please
What was the reason for the lockdown?
Still no explanation of the reason for the lockdown?...shocking
