Wet Weather and Thunderstorm Policy:
(refer S&A Handbook P70)
Wet Weather:
No more than 20 per cent of any program may be used for "dry" lessons such
as showing films, playing games or safety talks. If weather conditions do not
improve lessons must be cancelled.
Thunderstorms
In the event of a thunderstorm the Bureau of Meteorology recommends the
following procedure.

When the thunder becomes easily audible the storm is within 15 to 28
kilometres.

Depending on atmospheric and wind conditions the storm can arrive at
your position in as little as 5 minutes.

As soon as thunder becomes easily audible, remove students from the
water and immediately proceed to DRY GROUND. Seek shelter in a
HARD TOP building or vehicle.

Avoid small structures such as fabric tents, and single or small group of
trees.

Do not touch or move close to metal structures such as fences or metal
clotheslines.

If your hair stands on end or you hear buzzing from nearby rocks and
fences, move to a new position immediately.

Do not handle long or metallic objects in the open

If in the open away from shelter, crouch down, preferably in a hollow with
feet together, and remove any metal objects from head and body. Do not
lie down but avoid being the highest object in the vicinity.

If boating, get ashore as soon as possible. If unsafe to do so. Seek
protection beneath a high structure such as a bridge or jetty.

Avoid the use of telephones if possible, because the telephone system
can become highly charged. If an emergency call is necessary, be brief.
