07. Security and Safety

Security screen doors have been provided for College houses.  Student residents need to exercise care and to develop a ‘neighbourhood watch’ awareness.  Our location in Newtown is near a very low socio-economic area making us susceptible to petty thieving, especially on Sunday and at times when there is activity in the dining room, e.g. lunch times, Tuesday nights, etc.  Please keep your cars and houses locked.  College has an engraving tool that you may borrow from the Property Department to label your valuables.  Please do not leave any valuables in your car.

Please report all thefts or minor intrusions to police so the local authorities can form a full picture of crime in the area and serve the community better.  The Police Assistance Line phone number is 131 444.

For safety and security, flyscreens have been installed in all houses. Anywhere a window is on the first floor or above, a security/insect screen has been installed to protect children from falling out.  These security/insect screens are a legal requirement and MUST NOT be removed.
