At 1.30pm, the school was about to start a managed exit plan, according to an email to parents. As of 1.55pm a student said in an email they were still waiting to leave the school.
“I thought it was just a drill and we’d get back to class quickly, but police arrived and I knew it was the real deal,” the student said.
