The school has received information from the Government today that all public schools in Western Australia will remain open until the end of term – Thursday, 9 April 2020. However, they will now transition into the provision of education for as many students as possible in an online environment. Families are now strongly encouraged to keep their children at home if they have the capacity to do so.

This information comes from Department of Education in conjunction with Department of Health and comprehensive review of all available factual information. Each decision we make is based on analysis of all of this information, consultation with experts, and coordination with local and state agencies.

New information re school closure:

  1. The following week (6th to 9th April) teachers will continue to prepare at-home learning programs for Term 2. Schools will not provide work for students who are not in attendance for the balance of Term 1 as staff are preparing for online working for Term 2.
  2. During this time (6th to 9th April), students who attend school will be supervised.
  3. The Government has recognised there will still be families who need to send their children to school for supervision only during this period.
