IN CASE OF ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Please note, in the event of a severe weather warning that may affect the school’s normal opening hours, the following procedures will be put in place:
-
As soon as we are alerted to severe weather an email will be sent to parents with regular updates (if you know of a parent that would not receive an email we would ask that you would help them by notifying them there may be a closure).
-
Any decision to close the school will be made by 7.15am. Information will be emailed to parents and posted on the front page of the website.
-
We will ask staff to upload work to Google Classroom to be completed at home.
What happens if the weather deteriorates during the school day?
-
The school will only close in the event of severe weather or on advice from the emergency services. The decision will be made by the Principal.
-
The decision will be posted on the website, sent by email and students will be permitted to contact parents
-
Students that are normally collected will be instructed to contact parents for advice on what to do.
-
Students walking home will be advised to walk in groups.
-
School will be kept open and appropriately staffed until the last student has left the building.
How you can help:
-
Relay the message to anyone you know not able to be contacted by the school.
-
Where possible, keep regular checks on the school website.
-
Talk through the procedure with your son/daughter and plan with them what they should do in the event of bad weather.
