Dear Parents, Carers and Families
Bushfires
Thank you to everyone for your cooperation during our closure due to fire danger last week. The safety of students was the main priority of all agencies involved in the decision making process.
Bushfires will remain a concern over the coming months and further closures could occur in times of high fire danger. Any closures will be communicated via SMS and Facebook. Please ensure we have your correct contact details so that you receive important information.
If you did not receive any SMS notifications from the school last week please contact the school office so this can be fixed up.
In the event that a bushfire becomes a threat while students are at school all students will be moved to our designated school refuge area which is the admin block. If we are instructed by the RFS to seek shelter in our refuge no students will be allowed to leave until it is deemed safe by authorities.
This is a good time for all families to ensure they have their own bushfire survival plan organised so that you know what to do in case of an emergency situation.
Camp
We have made the difficult decision to cancel camp this year. Again this decision was made with the safety of our students in mind. The weather conditions for this week were predicted to be very hot and windy. Great Aussie Bush camp is situated in a very bushy area that could be dangerous if fire broke out in the areas.
Refunds can be arranged for camp fees paid or the amount can be left in credit for future expenses. Please let Mrs Muir in the office know what you would like to do.
