23 May 2025

Firstly, thank you for your patience and understanding in supporting the Department’s decision to close our school inclusive of today, 23 May 2025. Many of our staff and students remain affected by road and bridge closures and localised flooding related impacts.
A decision regarding a possible return to operational status for Monday 26 May 2025 will be communicated to all families on Sunday, 25 May at 3pm. As always, the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We know that the best place for students is in school and learning. We are working to get all our students back into the classroom as soon as possible.
Call the NSW SES on 132 500 if you need emergency assistance in floods and storms. In a life-threatening emergency, call Triple Zero (000).
Caring for your child:
There are a range of normal distress responses that your child might display. Staying connected and engaged with your child is one of the best ways to support them. If they want to talk, listen to your child, and answer their questions simply and honestly. Be prepared to answer the same questions repeatedly as some children may need to hear the news a few times or may need time to process. If you cannot answer the question, it is okay to say, "I don't know how to answer that”. Adults can shield young children from traumatic events by not letting them see or hear media reports. Support can be accessed through the following services: Kids Helpline 1800 551 800 or www.kidshelp.com.au ; Lifeline 131 114 or lifeline.org.au ; headspace 1800 650 890 or www.headspace.org.au (12 years old and above) ; or Mental Health Line 1800 011 511 - provides advice and can link callers to the mental health services in the Local Health District.
