​

2.2 Leave Personal Belongings

  • Do not attempt to gather personal belongings during an evacuation, even if we or Tadcaster Grammar School conduct a practice fire drill.​​

 

2.3 Gymnasts' Behaviour

  • Gymnasts should form single-file lines, maintain silence, and stay together with their group and coach throughout the evacuation process.
