146 schools remain closed across the Mid North Coast, Hunter and Central Coast, as well as 168 early childhood education and care services and eight TAFE NSW campuses.
16 schools will reopen tomorrow, and families from those communities have been informed directly by their schools.
If you have been told that your school is closed, please keep your children at home. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff is our highest priority.
Importantly, if a school is closed, it will not be offering minimal supervision to students.
Learning from home resources will be made available for all students.
More schools could become non-operational in these areas, and they will advise parents and carers directly. Schools continue to be the first point of contact on educational matters throughout this difficult time.
We will reopen other schools as soon as it is deemed safe to do so – following advice from the NSW State Emergency Service.
We believe all school closures are due to road access and travel safety concerns, not structural damage to schools.
