Oranjestad, June 6 th , 2025
As part of its ongoing commitment to student and staff safety, GVP School has introduced a new Security Alert System designed to provide faster, more effective emergency communication between classrooms and the school’s security team.
Recently, the IT specialist at the school, Mr. Zeng, in collaboration with the school administration, identified the need for improved communication tools in case of emergencies. After careful
consideration, a cost-effective solution was found through in-depth research. The Security Alert System includes a display device and 20 wireless Security Alert Buttons, ensuring efficient communication during critical situations.
On June 3rd, 2025, GVP School commenced the distribution of Security Alert Buttons to selected classrooms. Teachers have been trained on their usage, which allows them to signal for immediate
assistance by pressing the button. This action triggers an alert in the security booth, accompanied by a visual display of the classroom number, enabling swift response from security personnel.
“In situations where a teacher does not have direct access to a Security Alert Button, protocols have been established to ensure accessibility, “explained Mr. Dennis Zeng, IT specialist. “The primary teacher in each classroom retains responsibility for safeguarding the button, making it accessible to other educators sharing the space. This coordinated approach ensures that all teachers can respond effectively to security concerns.”
The current implementation phase is a pilot program, with ongoing evaluation to assess its effectiveness.
Positive outcomes will improve the Security Alert System, ensuring comprehensive coverage across all classrooms.
“GVP School remains steadfast in its mission to continuously improve campus safety,” said Candidia Woodley, Treasurer. “This new system reflects both innovation and practical thinking in our approach to creating a secure learning environment for all.”
