Forty-one schools in the Mid-West have now been cleared of cyclone damage, with most schools expected to open for the start of Term 2.
The Department of Finance has today cleared an additional three schools; however, these three schools remain without power.
Western Power has advised that power will be supplied to four schools to enable them to open for students and staff.
The Department of Education is currently exploring alternative locations for staff and students from Kalbarri District High School and Binnu Primary School to continue learning next week.
The Department of Education is continuing to provide support to staff and families who have been affected by Cyclone Seroja. A team of school psychologists, chaplains and experienced collegiate principals have travelled to the Mid-West to provide hands-on support for the schools and communities affected.
A Parent Helpline (1800 882 345 from 8am to 8pm) has also been set up for parents of affected schools that require advice or support relating to their child’s education.
