Code Red Fire Danger

All campuses of Kurnai College have been categorized by the Department of Education in such a way that will result in school closure in the case of a Code Red Fire Danger day. This is a change to the past and families should be aware so that they might prepare when Summer comes back around.

Four teachers from our school, as well as some of their students, will be invited to participate.

Invitations will be sent out to the relevant classes in due course. 

Student participation is entirely voluntary.
