23.01.2022 Morning Families would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding yes it was a very busy afternoon, but we did manage to evacuate all the children and staff safety. Hopefully today will be much dryer as we have a lot of cleaning up to do. The Centre is operating as per normal, but we have been advised by the SES that if the rain continues as it did yesterday the roads will once again be closed.. Once again thank you all.
