A spokesperson for the Department of Education and Training said the safety of students, staff and community members is our highest priority.
“Parents and carers are advised to exercise caution when driving in bad weather and avoid taking unnecessary risks – if it’s flooded, forget it,” the spokesperson said.
A small number of schools and early childhood/day care services are closed today due to the weather conditions and isolated flooding that has made access for students and staff unsafe.
