The following message has been emailed to all parents and caregivers about the re-opening of the school following TC Alfred.
Dear Parents and Caregivers
As you would be aware, the effects of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred are being felt in many communities across South East Queensland.
Thankfully, I am writing to inform you that Mansfield State High School will be open tomorrow, Tuesday 11 March.
Safety assessments
All required safety and risk assessments have been conducted and I can confirm it is safe for students and staff to attend our school.
I am pleased to advise that all of our facilities have been returned to normal operations.
Student absences
Please be mindful that some of our local roads and access to our school may be affected. If this weather event poses a danger to your child travelling to school, please notify the school of your child's absence as soon as possible, noting severe weather as the reason.
Absences due to emergencies and natural disasters will not be recorded on a student's report card.
Transport services
If your child catches a bus or train to school, please check with your local transport service provider to confirm if their services will be operational tomorrow.
Canteen
The school canteen located under A Block will be open. The full menu may not be available due to delivery delays, but they will be trading normal hours.
Monitoring the situation
Information about current weather conditions can be found on the Bureau of Meteorology website at www.bom.gov.au.
Health and wellbeing
It is incredibly important that you take time to look after yourselves and your families. I encourage you to access the information available for parents and students to support health and wellbeing during these difficult circumstances.
Thank you for your ongoing support and I look forward to seeing our wonderful students at school tomorrow.
Regards
Karen Tanks
Executive Principal
