School Closure Information- As a result of floods/water shortage
CCR was open today for exam classes only. While the school is without water supply the stored water allowed these classes to proceed but would not have been enough to sustain a full complement of students.
Unfortunately, the stored water ran out later today and, consequently, all classes will be cancelled tomorrow (Thursday 26th November).
A decision about classes for Friday 27th November will be made tomorrow and parents will receive a text about this. It will also appear on this website News Page.
