Security Campus safety is important to us and the school has updated its building security systems by installing automated locks on all external doors of the main building, similar to those installed in the cottages last year. All community members will be required to wear their ID badge and card-key and all visitors, including parents, will now need to come to the main door of the building and check in at the reception desk.
