UPDATE

Emergency Management Update #3 - Tuesday 3rd September 7.00am

I hope everyone had an easier night last night compared to Sunday.  From local reports it seems power has been restored to some homes so that is a positive.

The situation at school has not changed since yesterday.  We have all services operational so we intend to open as per usual.  

Again we ask families to notify the school via PAM if you decide to keep your children home due to your circumstances or for safety reasons.  

We encourage everyone to continue to exercise caution both around your homes and on the road.

Take care.

Emergency Management Update #2 - Monday 2nd September 3.30pm

I hope all our families and your properties are safe and secure despite the extreme weather conditions that we are currently experiencing.
 
At this stage, the school will be open tomorrow if we can continue to have electricity, water and phone coverage.  If your family’s personal circumstances mean that your child cannot attend school tomorrow, please advise via PAM as you would for regular student absence.  If circumstances change overnight and any safety issues arise preventing the school from operating as per normal, we will advise in the morning via email.
 
Thank you for your cooperation today as our community navigated many challenges resulting from the extreme weather conditions over the past 24 hours. We will provide further updates as required via email and social media, but please do not hesitate to contact the school should you have any questions.

I wish everyone a safe night.  Please take care and prioritise your safety as we work our way through the next few days.

Emergency Management Update #1 - Monday 2nd September 7.00am

Good morning, I hope everyone is keeping safe in this awful weather.

We have conducted a check of the school site.  We presently have power, water and phones operating so we are able to open. There are multiple safety issues outside so there will be no access to the yard.  

Considering the weather conditions are not expected to improve this morning we understand that some families may not be in a position to safely travel to school.  We potentially may have staffing issues also due to road conditions.

If you decide to keep your children home as a precaution please complete the PAM attendance notification.

Importantly, stay safe.
