Over the past six months, students at Macdonald Valley Public School have been forced out of their classroom three times - first by fires, then floods, and then by a plague.
The students at Macdonald Valley Public School have been forced out of their classroom by fire, flood and plague this year.Ms Date's students were forced out of their little school, near Wiseman's Ferry, north of Sydney, when flames circled the valley late last year, and again when wild rains and flooding made the Macdonald River too dangerous to cross in February.
"Your families look to you as being the one who holds it all together," said Sharyn Quirk, principal of St Brigidine's in Randwick. "It has been intense, I must say that. But my community has recognised that we are trying the best we can." "The amount of work there was astronomical," Mr Trethewy said. "I have a head teacher who's a timetabler - she's walking around exhausted."

Sydney private school infection underlines Australia 'not out of the woods' | Sky News AustraliaNSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos has urged Australians not to become complacent about coronavirus outbreaks, warning “we are not out of the woods yet”. \n\nA Sydney private school will close its doors for 48 hours to undergo deep cleaning after a Year 7 student tested positive to the virus, just as NSW students begin to return to full-time face-to-face learning. \n\nMr Gavrielatos told Sky News the recent infection as St Ignatius College Riverview “illustrates that we are still in the middle of a pandemic”. \n\nHe said the move to allocate extra cleaning supplies to schools was “absolutely necessary” because “they contribute to a very important ingredient in this pandemic and that is the need to increase and grow confidence for all”. \n\n“We need to make sure that everything we do, in all of our utterances, and this goes to the government, that we are contributing to growing the confidence of our teachers and the whole community which is still trying to come to terms with this pandemic.”\n\nImage: AP

But I thought schools were safe, would a public school also get this exact same service? 🤔 If schools haven’t opened up fully yet dose this mean there is more of a risk. And this could be a community transfer meaning it could be in the community. We need to be told if kids will be safe going to school this coming Monday because I am not sure if they are?
