Melos Group, the group looking to form the Riverina Christian College in Deniliquin from 2027 onwards, has also offered its support to the school in the wake of Saturday’s fire.
At the time of going to print yesterday, the NSW Department of Education said the strategy moving forward was still being finalised.
Parents already affiliated with the school are expected to receive daily updates through the Schoolbytes system - about 5.30pm each day.
The department has also agreed to provide relevant updates with the Deniliquin Pastoral Times to communicate to the wider community.
Mayor Ashley Hall said this would be vital for those not captured by the Schoolbytes communication system for high school parents, including parents of prospective 2026 Year 7 students.
Yesterday, students were advised to stay at home and use the online learning method that was the ‘norm’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deniliquin South School offered space for those students unable to do so.
What the learning model will look like from today was not clear at the time of going to print yesterday.
“The site must be made safe for use before students or staff can return,” a department spokesperson said.
“The department is offering support for the Deniliquin school community as it absorbs the shock of Friday night and is committed to arranging alternative learning locations.
“The department is working with TAFE NSW and other agencies to arrange alternate accommodation that will allow students to continue learning.
“These arrangements are expected to be finalised by Tuesday and will be communicated to parents, carers and the school community on Monday afternoon.”
Further updates will be shared as they become available.
