It was due to reopen on the 9th of June, however this was extended to the 12th of June, after a second student was diagnosed with the illness. This caused some disturbance to exams and assessment, however teachers and students remained in contact through email and other electronic means.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”

“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
