Because many of our students regularly travel on the eight kilometre ferry trip across the lagoon, our crisis management plan includes an annual evacuation drill that takes place on the water. All students from year three and upwards board the ferry after practising donning the lifejackets. 

Once on the ferry, the operators fire a flare gun which creates a lot of smoke. Students put on the lifejackets, then are led through the ferry cabin to the bow. They jump into the lagoon with teachers and teacher assistants, and swim to shore assisted by staff. Students in year two and under remain on the jetty to watch the process, and look forward to the time when they are old enough to make the jump.
