When it comes to extreme weather events in Queensland, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’, and this year there is a 74% chance of more cyclones than average. St Michael’s is currently undertaking steps to prepare for the upcoming cyclone season, including ensuring contacts are up to date and accurate, to assist in communications in the event of a severe weather event. We may be in contact to confirm details.
Whilst these events can always be distressing, as Queenslanders we always show a strong resilience and community spirit, and through this, we always get through. If our school is affected by a cyclone, storm surge or other event, we will keep you apprised of the school’s situation through St Michael’s SMS, email and Seesaw, in line with state and local emergency advice.
We can’t control or prevent these events, but we can be prepared. We recommend that every family gets prepared with the Get Ready Queensland initiative here, and create their own Dangerous Weather Emergency Plan here.Should it be necessary to close the school in the event of an emergency, such as a cyclone, information will also be sent to local media. Parents will also receive an emergency sms and email message. It is important to keep your contact information recorded with the school up to date.
What should parents do when advised the school is closing during the school day?
- Parents should collect their children IMMEDIATELY from schools and after-school care.
- Immediate collection of your child will assist the school in an efficient closure process and will give school staff the opportunity to collect their own children from other schools/services.
- Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
