Tropical Cyclone Alfred and the Return to Normal Operations: A Message of Resilience and Solidarity

As many of you are aware, Tropical Cyclone Alfred recently swept across our region, causing significant disruption and forcing us to temporarily close the College for a few days. The impact of the storm was felt far and wide, with heavy rains, strong winds, and flooding affecting our local area. It was a challenging time for our community, and we appreciate the patience and understanding shown by everyone as we navigated these unexpected circumstances.

Our college has now returned to normal operations, and it is wonderful to have our students, and staff back on campus. The energy, enthusiasm, and sense of camaraderie that come with the return of our college community are truly uplifting. It’s a reminder of how resilient and strong we are, even in the face of adversity.

During the closure, we took all necessary precautions to ensure that our campus was safe, and we’ve worked diligently to restore any disruptions to our academic and pastoral programs. Assessments that have been affected will be adjusted and new dates issued where required. We understand that some of our students and families were impacted by the storm in other ways, and we extend our thoughts to those who are still facing challenges in the aftermath, particularly those in communities affected by ongoing flooding. Please refer to our College webpage for wellbeing links that may be of assistance.

While we are grateful to be back in operation, we remain mindful of the many schools that are still closed due to the flooding caused by Cyclone Alfred. Our thoughts are with all those who are continuing to deal with the aftermath, and we stand in solidarity with them. It is in times like these that our sense of community and support for one another is so crucial. We are hopeful that these schools will soon be able to reopen and resume their important work.

We are excited to continue this semester with renewed energy, and we look forward to the great things we will accomplish together. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation, and we are grateful to have you all back on campus
