Each year, we undertake a range of activities to ensure the safety of our school and to prepare for bushfires and grassfires. An important part of this process is communicating to parents what will happen when certain fire danger ratings are issued to help ensure the safety of students and staff. Our school has been identified as being at risk of bushfire or grassfire and is a Category 3 school. Our school will close on a day forecasted as Catastrophic fire danger rating in the Northern Country weather & fire district.

For the safety of our school community, the decision to enact our plan will depend on the latest BOM forecast and public messaging from the emergency sector. Please note the timing of this information may vary however we will also provide our community with confirmation of a school closure as soon as possible.

Information regarding potential or confirmed catastrophic fire danger days will be communicated to you via SENTRAL, the school website and a letter home (if time permits).
