Teaching from the Lismore campus will be on-line until Easter

Reason why is as of yesterday there were 800  flooded-out people staying in the university’s “recovery centre,”  spread across several buildings. They are and “using our facilities for things like food and shelter,” SCU states.

But it’s six-weeks to Easter, surely all will be to rights by then, CMM suggested.

Don’t bet on it. An SCU observer suggests the Lismore region is so badly hit by the floods,  “there is literally nowhere for these people to go at present.” It will take a while, quite a while for all to have somewhere to go.

The university will advise Lismore students if “critical face-to-face-elements” can proceed on campus but SCU Coffs Harbour expects to open Monday and there are hopes the Gold Coast campus will.
