Wet Weather

Occasionally, extreme wet weather causes concerns with regard to transport services to and from outlying areas.  If creeks are rising and there is a potential for flooding then parents/carers are requested to confirm either: -

Option 1:    Their child/ren to remain at school or

Option 2:    Their child/ren travel on early buses to their normal destinations.

These options are to be made clear and kept up to date by completing the relevant forms if your situation changes.

This procedure is to ensure the safety of all children while taking into account the parents wishes.

In the event of flooding, or children being sent home, the school will send an automated message to your telephone or mobile. Please make sure your numbers are up to date on the relevant forms and keep your phone handy on days when flooding looks likely.

If there is the potential on a specific day that flooding could occur where you live, parents are requested to consider whether to send their child/ren to school.  It is better to err on the side of safety and keep your child/ren at home if the conditions are doubtful. Some children become extremely anxious when there is a possibility of not returning home.
