Dear parents and carers,
As you are aware, our community is experiencing flooding in our local area.
I hope that everyone remains safe and acknowledges this is a difficult time for many of us. Families are encouraged to tune-in to local media, monitor weather conditions, heed the warnings and follow instructions from emergency services.
Especially now - Remember, “If it’s flooded, forget it”.
Even though the effects of this weather event have begun to ease, the impact on our school means that we are unable to reopen tomorrow, Tuesday 1 March.
While we are devastated to be unable to reopen our school, you are able to access the learning@home site for quality resources to support students.
If you have any concerns or require additional support, please contact me on ahawk19@eq.edu.au.
Please be aware that absences due to emergencies and natural disasters will not be recorded on a student’s report card.
Please regularly check the school closures website https://closures.qld.edu.au. This site will be updated on a daily basis.
We will continue to provide information to families, via newsflash and on our Facebook page, as it becomes available. There are also many excellent resources on the Queensland Government Get Ready Queensland website that serve as a checklist for our homes, travel arrangements and our personal safety.
Thank you for your ongoing support and please stay safe. We have got this, we have got you.
Regards,
Amanda Hawkswell
Principal
