All public schools in flood impacted areas are closed tomorrow, Monday, March 10.
The Department of Education said it will need to assesses the damage to school infrastructure and overall safety and let parents and students know if they can return on Tuesday, March 11.
The full list of non-operational schools, TAFE colleges and early childhood education centres is available on the Department of Education website here.
While so far there have not been reports of major damage or flooding to schools, there will be further assessments made tomorrow as debris, including fallen trees, are cleared and the clean-up is underway.
Non-government schools in affected areas have been advised to remain closed on Monday but parents should check individual school websites for any updates.
As schools outside the affected areas prepare to begin NAPLAN testing from Wednesday, March 12, the NSW Education Standards Authority will work with affected schools to start testing later if needed.
