Our school has detailed plans in place to keep your child safe in the event of a bushfire.

On catastrophic fire danger days in the Mid North fire ban district our school will be closed and no one is permitted on site. After school sports or activities will also be cancelled. 

Whilst our school’s bushfire risk rating is R3 (medium to low risk), we are in close proximity to a nearby R1 or R2 (extreme to very high risk) school/preschool.

This change allows for a consistent approach to the management of school and preschool closures in our immediate area.

If a catastrophic fire danger day is forecast, we will inform you of a closure after 4pm the day before.

If the CFS upgrade the fire danger rating to catastrophic on the day, our school will remain open.  This is in line with the department’s processes and allows us to more easily manage communication with parents and caregivers in the event that a closure of the school is recommended by the department.

We encourage you to read the Bushfire and your child’s school or preschool brochure for more information on school closures and how we will act if threatened by a bushfire. Search ‘bushfire information’ on www.education.sa.gov.au.
