School arrangements - Thursday 12 February 2026 Due to the flooding of the Todd River, Alice Springs government schools will be open today to support the children of essential service workers and vulnerable young people. Please follow the advice of emergency services and police and only travel if it is safe to do so. Further updates will be provided as available.

Dear Parent/Guardians and Students, We would like to draw your attention to the Dept. of Education mobile phone and personal digital devices policy which is now in place and the expectations from students at our school. If you would like to apply for an exemption, please complete the attached paperwork and return to admin.centraliansc@education.nt.gov.au

Dear Parents/Guardians, We appreciate your patience and understanding during what has been a challenging start to the year with the CDU campus canteen unavailable. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, the new canteen operator has experienced delays, and the service has not commenced as originally anticipated. While we work through this situation together and await the canteen reopening, we ask for your support with the following short-term arrangements. Where possible, students are asked to bring their own lunch to school. It is not desirable for students to leave the campus to visit nearby shops, as return times are not always timely and this disrupts learning. Similarly, food delivery services such as Uber Eats or DoorDash rely on third-party providers and do not align with our timetable. Students are also not permitted to collect deliveries during class time. In the interim, the following options are available to support students: Students who are members of Clontarf or STARS may access food through their respective academies. The Toastie Room, located near the Engagement Office, is supported by Foodbank and is available for students who may be unable to bring lunch. Lovey’s Food Van will be onsite daily at 12:30 pm to support both the CDU and CSC campuses. We encourage students to utilise this service to help ensure it remains viable. At this stage, CDU Canteen has advised that operations are expected to commence on Monday, 23 February . Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this situation. We appreciate your cooperation in supporting students to remain on site and make use of the available options during this interim period. Kind regards, Jodie Solczaniuk Senior Operations Manager
