Bushfire Season - Catastrophic Day (school closure)

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 4 school. Our school will close on a day forecasted as Catastrophic fire danger rating in the Northern Country fire district. Closure of the school due to a Catastrophic fire danger rating will be enacted when the Bureau of Meteorology forecast and related public safety messaging are confirmed. Due to uncertainties in the forecast, the timing of this confirmation may vary. Information regarding potential or confirmed Catastrophic fire danger days will be communicated to you by Skool Loop and Class Dojo.
