Oxford Area School took part in the annual, nationwide Shakeout drill on Thursday this week.

All students and staff, regardless of where they were or what they were doing "dropped, covered and held" at 10.30 am on Thursday morning.

An annual event, it is an ideal time to talk to our tamariki and rangatahi about what to do in the event of an earthquake. 

The Get Ready New Zealand website has many resources that we use within school, but also resources that are ideal for use at home. This includes the 'get your household ready for an emergency' checklist.
