At Cabramatta High School we use bells to let our students know when it is time to change classes or activities. The bells will ring at different times depending on the day of the week. All students start and finish early on Wednesday. We also use different bell signals for special situations.

Bell signals system
There are various bell signals which tell students and staff what to do.
- Single ring indicates the start of the day, end of a lesson or break and the end of the day.
- Long ring of bell indicates that an evacuation is necessary. Students and staff must evacuate the buildings and assemble on the oval.
- Pulsating bell (2 second intervals up to one minute) indicates a lockdown is required. All students and staff must remain in the buildings, close and lock all doors and wait for the all clear.
