In front of Champollion high school, students wait
In front of Champollion high school, Samuel and Salomé are waiting. Both are science prep students.
The first was in his room at the institution’s boarding house when he was warned by a classmate of the need to evacuate. Salomé was in class. “At first, there was an alert message asking us to stay in classes. Then the teacher came back and told us to evacuate,” says the student.
Gabrielle and Lou-Ann were also in class. They also talk about this first containment message then, “five or ten minutes later” of the evacuation instructions. “The police were already outside” says Gabrielle while lines of students are still leaving Champollion high school.
The two students, aged 18 and 19, “escaped the French DS” but are struggling, sitting on a bench in Place Victor-Hugo, in their maths lessons. “We have a break at 4 p.m. In my opinion, we will have been able to return by then,” laughs Gabrielle.
At the Stendhal high school, a thousand students and a hundred staff evacuated the establishment to regroup on Place Jean-Achard. “We got the alert around 8:15 a.m. and our priority was to get everyone safe,” explains Anne-Cécile Maron, principal of the establishment whose students who are not boarders were authorized to return home after calling their parents.
