Alice Brown , head teacher at Falmont Primary School , was teaching when the floor began to shake . Her students ’ reaction was quick and correct - they moved under their desks , head first , and held on to the legs of the desks . At the same time , Miss Brown quickly opened the classroom door , in case it became damaged during the shaking and could not open . There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things faling to the ground , but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly .

After a roll call confirmed that all were safe and sound , they relaxed , laughing , crying and hugging each other .

NEWDALE - On 20 December , a series of huge waves caused by an undersea earthquake raced across the ocean near Goldshore and left thousands dead . Goldshore Beach was the only local beach to survive the disaster without any loss of life . A 10-year- old girl , Sabrina Andron , helped around 100 people escape danger with her knowledge of tsunamis .
