-The "fire" team will brief them (the purpose of doing this exercise, where/how to exit?etc)
-After the fire briefing,we will have some activities like simple games to keep them occupy so we can do our last min preparation before we sounded the siren.

Agenda for 15 Aug Briefing
1) The" fire" & nursing team to share with us their plan /procedure
Some games activities for Metta students ( do brainstorm beforehand)
To take note:
: 50 to 60 students (need to break them into grp of 10? or 8? easier to handle)
: Duration abt 20 minutes before we start the fire drill (caught them unware)
: There are 2 classrooms (a small one can accomodate abt 10 people) & slightly bigger one(ard 18 people)
: can also use their "hall" (just beside the main door) to play games / simple paper folding like a star or ??brainstorming...)
: space along the "corridors" inside the centre (a bit cramped though)
: 1 computer room (got some space available)
2) Assign roles for team members (discuss more this fri)
