We are very excited to announce we have confirmation from the department of education that our beautiful little school is not closing! 🥳🎉💃
We would like to thank our community for your continued support and help with our campaign!
It's been a stressful time for parents, kids, staff and the broader community for the past 6 weeks so it's a great relief that the department has recognised the important role our school plays in our community.
Although it's been a challenging time, on a positive note, it's actually brought our community closer together. Through it we have achieved the following:
🌼 Created the ULPS playgroup with early engagement of the next generation of school kids
🌼 A school bus in the pipeline 🤞 to help more local kids access the school
🌼 An awareness of the restrictions of the catchment zone and potential changes to it in the future
🌼 Engaging the broader community with the schools facilities and beautiful grounds
🌼 Acknowledgment of the important role our small, flexible learning environment providesSo once again thank you! Thank you for signing petitions, sharing and engaging with posts, putting up posters and signs, writing letters and complaints, coming to the community meeting and giving ideas, calling politicians, sharing stories, sharing with your networks, and encouraging us along the way. We couldn't have done this without the help of our community!
And thank you to the many politicians who have rallied for our cause and taken the fight to parliament!
Our kids are so happy they get to stay at their beautiful school. You have put a great big smile on their faces 😊😁🥳
Here's to another 130 years of ULPS 🙌

Changes to the petition
on 22 May 2026
Both of our grand daughters have attended this school and it plays such an important role in the local community. It would be a travesty if it were to close, and if the children have to travel further to go to a school, it would make very long days for them.
