Code Red Fire Danger
A reminder to all families, that on days of Code Red in the West & South Gippsland Fire Zone, all campuses will be closed.
This is a change to previous years, and we ask families to be aware of this in preparation.
Kurnai College University and Churchill Junior Campuses are on the Bushfire At-Risk Register and the Category 4 list.
School preparations for the bushfire season
Each year, to prepare for bushfires and grassfires, schools and early childhood services complete a range of activities.
The Department of Education runs an annual fire risk assessment of schools and early childhood services. They are allocated a category of risk (categories 0 to 4) and are published on the Bushfire At-Risk Register (BARR).
All schools and early childhood services listed on the BARR and Category 4 list will also close when a Catastrophic fire danger rating day is forecast in their fire weather district.
When the Bureau of Meteorology provides public fire danger rating forecasts or fire weather warnings, they use fire weather district areas. In Victoria, there are 9 fire weather districts, which are based on Local Government Area boundaries. Our school is in the
West and South Gippsland.
As part of preparing our school for the fire season, we have updated and completed our Emergency Management Plan our staff continue to maintain our grounds.
