This week many schools across the state will be closed for cleaning and rebuilding after last week’s flood event.
Some local Department of Education Public Schools will become operational again tomorrow. You can consider sending your child to a nearby operational DoE school if it is safe to do so, but you need to contact your current school and the intended school before doing so.
If you have internet access, you can also consider that your child can do learning from home through the DoE’s Learning from home hub.
A list of both public and independent schools that are closed owing to the floods and ongoing clean-up can be found here.
