Dear parents,

Security at Musaeus College

The Easter Sunday events have affected us all and we sympathise with all those families who have been affected by the tragic terror attacks unleashed amongst us.

Along with the guidelines given by the DIG, Police Department, we at Musaeus College have been reviewing our security arrangements within school and its environment, to analyse what steps we can take to make sure that our students, staff and visitors can be safe while at school.

The most serious threat to any school is from an unidentified person gaining entry to school and we are determined to prevent such an incident. Several rules will be applied to overcome this threat.

School Gates:
No vehicles will be allowed to park in the No Parking Zones. Police will take action against any offenders.

Restricted access into the school: All three gates will be kept closed at all times – during and after school, except during arrival and dismissal times. No one will be allowed inside the premises at any time. Parents of Day Care students will be issued a special pass.  Due to security reasons, standing near the gates or along the walls of the school and on the opposite side is not allowed at any time including arrival or dismissal times. Crowding will obstruct the smooth flow of students leaving the school and will only encourage any terrorist to choose their targets. Please use the pick/drop rule practised in the mornings for dismissal as well.

The dismissal of the students in the Primary Section from Barnes Place will continue as usual with several restrictions.

Checking students & their belongings:
All students will be checked on entry to school. To help facilitate this task of checking almost 7000 students on a daily basis, we request all parents to:
Use ONLY a transparent bag to carry school requirements or ask them to carry their books by hand. No non-transparent bags will be allowed. Pack their snacks/lunch and water in transparent containers or wrappers. If sending rice, send a spoon/fork which the supervisor will use to check the contents.

Check their bags at home. All unnecessary things will be thrashed. NO phone rule is strictly applied and teachers will not accept any phone for safe-keeping.  

During checking, the student herself will empty her bag under supervision. After checking, no student will be allowed to leave the premises until dismissal time.

Parcels, lunch boxes and deliveries
Another threat to the safety and security of children and staff is from unidentified deliveries entering the school site. There are a number of such deliveries - from students forgetting to bring necessary things, ordering food to be delivered, to parents bringing school lunches, or their sports equipment and clothes, for their children.

In future, no parcels will be allowed in to the school site. Parents who have previously brought food for their child's lunch will now need to either provide them with food when they arrive at school in the morning or give their child some money for the canteen. Lunch deliveries will no longer be possible. No birthday cakes or treats until further notice. Sports equipment and clothes should be brought in the morning by the student.

In the past, our security staff have, at times, been subjected to considerable abuse when refusing entry to the school without prior approval. I do hope that parents will support the school in taking steps to make the school premises safe for your daughter.

Study Packs :
The teachers are preparing study packs for the students. They will be uploaded to the website this as soon as possible. Your daughter should complete the work within the given time. Please put them in a filewith her name, class and the class teacher’s name clearly written on the cover and handover to the security officers.  

Musaeus College ID
Each student will be issued and ID card which has to be worn at all times within the school premises. If they do not wear the ID on arrival they will not be allowed into the school. Please note above and ensure the child wears it visibly when leaving home. Until such time, your daughter has to produce the SRB on arrival at the gate.
The issuance of an ID for parents is being considered. Once decisions are made, you will be informed.

The school sewing centre and bookshop will only be open to parents between 8.00 – 9.00 a.m. A visitor pass will be issued after production of your NIC. This pass does NOT give you entry to any other section of the school.  

School Dismissal Times
The dismissal times for the different sections have been changed to facilitate less congestion at gates and roads. This will come into effect from 1st May 2019.

Nursery Section: A teacher will bring the girls to the Gate and hand over. No parent will be allowed to enter the school premises.

Primary Section: The teacher will bring the girls to the dismissal point in the school grounds. No one is allowed into the grounds beyond the barriers. Parents or guardians should bring their NICs.

Lower Secondary Section, Grade 6 – 9: Teachers will accompany the students to the Rosmead/Barnes Pl.

Upper Secondary Grades 10 – 13: Students will leave classes after gathas.

Please see that their transport is available at the dismissal times to avoid crowding and congestion.

If your daughter has to wait for an older sister or a van/bus, teachers will guide them to the waiting area within the school. Instruct the older daughter to collect the younger one and accompany her. Those going by bus, will leave school premises after gathas as usual.

Advice to parents
The DIG Colombo has requested us to ask you to check your vehicle every day. Unknown to you, someone might plant explosives in your vehicle.  Not only the interior but also the inside of the engine, boot and the undercarriage should be checked. 

When parking on a road, leave your name and phone number on the dashboard of your vehicle. If parked in an unauthorized area or on suspicion, the police should be able to contact you. If there is no response, the vehicle will be towed away.

Emergencies
If any disturbance occurs out of school, please do not rush to school and demand entering. This will only create further chaos. School authorities will judge the situation and act in the best interest of the students. 

Our primary aim at all times is to ensure the safety and well-being of the children and the school community and we believe with your support, the above measures will be workable.

I hope all parents will co-operate with our security staff and support these measures.

Thank you.
