UPDATE: 4.00pm Monday 18th July

We have just concluded a 4.00pm site meeting with the contractors.

They anticipate that they will have completed the work and be in a position to reconnect the power supply without the next few hours.

It is highly unlikely that there will be any issues so they have advised that we can communicate to staff and families that we can all return to school tomorrow.

Can I thank everyone for their flexibility and patience as we dealt with this unplanned outage which has been so inconvenient.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Regards,
David Cooper
Principal
