Schools play a critical role in keeping students safe from harm. While the potential threat of a shooting or bombing is (thankfully) a rare occurrence in Australia, schools need to move toward a more appropriate form of securing their most important asset, their students and staff.

School Guardian gives your school community the peace of mind and assurance that by the push of a button they can isolate a single building through to a full lock down of the entire school. As we have seen in devastating tragedies both within and outside of Australia, this type of protection is becoming needed as the onus for schools to shoulder more of the responsibility under their duty of care is becoming more relevant.

The School Guardian system is state-of-the-art in its design, and novel in its approach to solving the multi-building and cabling infrastructure issues onsite.

Benefits

  • Multiple evacuation options allow you to corral students and staff into specific areas as the crisis evolves.

  • Zoned lock down gives the ability to keep doors open or locked to either keep people in or out.

  • Zoned PA system allows you to talk to individual areas of the school: inside, outside, individual zones and everything in-between.

  • Point to point intercom allows for private communications between the command station and individual field panels.

  • Integrated bell and music gives the ability to introduce a new audio or bell system throughout the school via the PA system.

  • Wireless installation allows for minimal infrastructure alterations to existing sites.

  • Fire panel integration allows school guardian to utilise the existing field speakers reducing installation costs where possible.

ATS is continuing to expand School Guardian to cater for the diverse needs of campus sites.  it is easily adapted and can be deployed as in many themes such as University Guardian, Hospital Guardian etc. The Guardian concept will work, and work well, in any existing project with multiple buildings either in an existing site or a new development.


While we hope the School Guardian is never used, we know that if required it will be ready to assist staff in managing, protecting and saving lives throughout the site where the system is installed.
