The NSW Department of Education has closed 121 schools from the Clarence Valley north to the Queensland border, and inland to the Kyogle Shire due to potential impacts from Tropical Cyclone (TC) Alfred, including a heightened risk of flooding.

They are non-operational from today, Wednesday 5 March, through to Friday 7 March 2025.

"We request families do not send your children to school for the next three days. Our school staff will be onsite this morning in case the message is not received in time," a spokesperson said.

"At this stage we expect schools to resume operations on Monday 10 March 2025.

"As always, the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

"We have taken these steps to ensure we are prepared for the worst, while still hoping for the best.

"We know a lot of our North Coast communities have been through some difficult periods in recent years.

"We want to do everything we can to ensure our school communities are well supported and our staff and students are as safe as they can be.

"The SES has asked that families prepare their homes for strong winds, by putting away loose items around their home, trimming trees aways from properties and not parking vehicles under trees or powerlines.

"Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in flood water, and any avoid unnecessary travel.
