All boarding houses are fitted with government regulated smoke detectors and alarms which are monitored by a fire security company which passes calls onto the fire brigade. The fire brigade attends every time an alarm is triggered on the College premises. Fire drills for each boarding House are carried out twice a year (one early in Term 1 and the other later in the year) with students having clearly designated evacuation points to report to.

No student is to have any aerosol cans at the College as these can activate fire alarms.  In the event that a student deliberately or recklessly activates a fire alarm which the fire brigade attends, the student may be responsible for the payment of the callout fee charged by the fire brigade.
