I went to school this morning and as soon as I walked into the gate, a teacher was telling to go on the top oval. I had no idea what was going on. I walked down and found my form class. I asked what was going on and they said it was just a fire drill. We were there for a long time and I heard that someone had planted a bomb in the school. Thinking it was only a drill, I didn't worry to much. I did start to freak out a bit when I saw about 12 policemen, 2 fire trucks and 3 ambulances. We sat on the top oval for about 20 minutes until we were told to move to the bottom oval which is bigger and further away from building then the top one. When we got there, a teacher told us to switch off our mobile phones as the signal might sent of the bomb. We sat there for an hour and a half. We were finally told to go back to our form room and wait till the bell goes and when it does, we had to continue with the normal time table.
It ended up that there was no bomb in the school. The teachers took it really serious which I guess is a good thing. I got to miss out on my english class! Hooray! I was told there was a scare 2 years ago but they didn't take it as seriously as the one today. It was an interesting start to the week!
Oh, dear!
It must not have been a good time there, wondering if all that was a bad joke or the truth!!!
Beary hugs,

It would have been frightening.
Over at the local shops in Canberra, where I shop most of the time, there was a bomb scare. The shops were shut for most of the day. Unfortunatly though, it looks as if there was really a bomb.
I haven't heard an update, but they made a press release saying that the devise looked complicated and authentic! How frightening is that?
Glad to hear you were fine Sam! I think they need to be over cautious - because bombs are real - especially in these times. Unfortunatly some people get off making a joke and causing a lot of trouble.

I bet it was scarry going back into class
Wow that was bad. Glad everyone is ok. :hug:
$am, what a scary day you had--I'm glad there was no bomb, and that everyone's ok.
At least the school did take the threat seriously--these days there's no choice.
But as a long-retired English Prof, I'm sorry that you missed your English class :crackup: :crackup:

Sam, I'm glad it was just a scare. They had bomb scares here too when I was in school. they were never taken lightly. :hug:
Wow, Sam . . . I'm so glad the bomb scare was a fake - but the school authorities can't be too careful these days. What an ordeal!
How scary! I'm glad everyone is ok.
