13.01.2022 REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR AROUND FIRE AREAS! QUEENSLAND Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) and Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) crews remain on scene at a... bushfire that has been burning around Watsonville, Walsh River, Silver Valley, Herberton and Irvinebank for the past 20 days. With the fire danger in the region remaining high and with high temperatures, high winds and low humidity expected for the next few days, people are reminded permits are needed to light fires in the area. Tablelands detectives urge residents to report all suspicious behaviour in relation to anything they see around the Tablelands fire areas. Sergeant Bill Stanley of Far North District Disaster Management Group (FN DDMG) said people should keep the welfare of firefighting personnel in mind. Our primary concern is for personnel fighting fires, we have had multiple firefronts including Herberton, Walsh River Community, Watsonville and fires are still burning at Irvinebank and now to the south of Petford, Sgt Stanley said. The QFES is conident some of these fires have been deliberately lit and this is placing personnel in danger due to fires being started behind them. Detective Senior Sergeant Brett Devine said police called for anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activities to come forward and report the information to either Tablelands Detectives on 4030 3315 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. We have concerns that a number of recent fires in the Tablelands area have been unlawfully lit, Sg Devine said. Deliberately lit fires can lead to the loss of life, property and puts the lives of emergency workers in danger. We are asking that common sense is used and that members of the community keep their ears and eyes open and report suspicious behaviour before things get out of control. All fires over 1m x 1m require a fire permit . "If property owners feel their property is in danger of fires burning in their area and decide to start backburning, they are not only committing an offence, but they are putting fire personnel in danger. What needs to be remembered is the unforeseen consequences of deliberately lit fires. Not only can these fires lead to the loss of property, but the loss of life as well. Unfortunately, if that is the case police may be investigating life imprisonment offences such as manslaughter and arson. Locals and visitors alike are urged to stay up-to-date with warnings. Visiting the Rural Fire Service website, and QFES social media pages or by tuning in to local radio. Any fires of concern should be reported immediately to Triple Zero (000).

05.01.2022 Enrol Now! Many families would know that Education Queensland policy states that schools are staffed on the numbers of students actively enrolled at the school ...on the 8th day of the school year. The Department of Education has extended the window to enrol students until 12noon on Thursday 13th February 2020, due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Teacher and teacher aide allocations to Yungaburra State School will be set on Thursday 13th February for 2020 based on the numbers of students who have enrolled at our school. I ask parents to encourage families who may be considering enrolling at Yungaburra SS to visit the office, undertake a tour with me and complete an enrolment process at the school. I also ask the community to encourage families who may not be enrolled at a school to visit Yungaburra SS and complete an enrolment package. Yungaburra SS is situated within walking distance to the Yungaburra Community Kindy and Day Care Centre. We are well connected to other towns on the Tablelands with great bus services running both before school and after school to afterschool services. Our little village offers a variety of afterschool activities including art and sports. Share our post and help spread the word about our wonderful school community. If you have friends moving into the area through the year, encourage them to contact us. I thank the community for their support. Adrianne Telford Acting Principal Yungaburra State School.
