Guppys Early Learning Centres in Townsville – Status – Closed, Tuesday 4th February 2025

To the families of Guppys Early Learning in Townsville,

Due to the continued adverse weather conditions and 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 childcare centres at Guppys Thuringowa and Guppys Wulguru for families on Tuesday 4th 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 reason for the non-open status on 5th 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 Tuesday, we hope to open the centres on Wednesday 5th February 2024.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact 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
