Bush Fire Season
In the event of a major fire that threatens public safety, the emergency services may close roads or areas, thereby preventing students and cars entering. Students and buses will remain where they are until it is safe to travel, in which case students would remain supervised at the school until collected by parents/guardians or alternative arrangements have been made.
