Registration
School children will go with their schools accompanied by their teachers, if the parents wish it.
If the children of a family go to more than one school, and the parents wish their children to be together, the parents can choose with which school all their children should go. Parents must make this choice when registering their children. This provision does not apply to pupils in attendance at Higher Education Schools.
Children under five years of age with their mothers. Mothers wishing to go and take children under five must register, or must register the names of suitable persons who will be responsible for the children.
Some children under five attend school. Mothers may choose whether they will take these children themselves, or whether they will let them go with the school, but they must register in any case. A mother cannot go herself without a child under five.
Mothers who wish to go themselves with children under five and who have older children at school may choose whether to take the older children with them or to let the older children go with their schools, but the mothers must register in any case. They should inform the Head Teachers of the schools of their wishes.
There can be no guarantee that the parties of mothers and children with them will reach the same destination as the school parties. Children who go with their schools will be provided with board and lodging; but all children who go with their mothers or other suitable persons will be provided with lodging only.
How to Register
a) School Children - all school children resident in the evacuable area will be registered through the schools at which they are in attendance. It will be necessary for the parents to complete a form intimating their desire for their children to be evacuated and to return that form to the Head Teacher of the Department attended by the child.
