Closure of School Due to Severe Weather Conditions Procedure
Our annual "wet season" sometimes results in dangerous conditions, and the decision may be made to close schools to minimise risk to students and their families. Should this occur, you need to be aware of The Cathedral School's Closure of School Due to Severe Weather Conditions Procedure - click here to download a copy (PDF).
