Guppys Early Learning Centres in Townsville – Status – Closed, Monday 3rd February 2025

To the families of Guppys Early Learning in Townsville,

Due to the deterioration of weather conditions and continued flooding around Townsville, we want to ensure we are here to support our families and staff. And with an emphasis on absolute safety and providing care and support for our families and staff, we have decided the following:
1. AT THIS POINT IN TIME (SUBJECT TO CHANGE), we WILL NOT BE opening our child care centres at Guppys Thuringowa and Guppys Wulguru for families on Monday 3rd February 2025. We apologise for this late decision and the inconvenience this will cause families
2. The lack of available staff, the wet and inaccessible road and the lack of power supply by ERGON Energy are the reasons for the non-open status on 3rd February 2025.
3. We have assessed our centres at Guppys Thuringowa and Guppys Wulguru, and they have sustained no damage, and based on forecasts are not subject to incur any damage from the rains and are fully accessible and operational
4. The bus operations at both centres are suspended until further notice and will be reactivated when the rains and flooding subsides
5. We will assess this “Close” status and if things improve on Monday, we hope to open the centres on Tuesday 4th Feb 2024.

If you have any queries, do not hesitate to reach out to the management at Guppys Wulguru and Guppys Thuringowa. Again, we are here to support the families and staff of Guppys and wish you all the best during this challenging time.

Best Regards,
Guppys Early Learning Management
