Due to the amount of rain recently received, a tree from the Ulladulla Primary School reserve fell onto a demountable Year 4 classroom. No one was seriously injured in the accident.

The large gum tree (approximately 60ft high) crashed down on their classroom. The tree was located outside the school boundary, in bushland, near a small creek. The teacher evacuated the classroom and went back inside to search for any pupils who might have been trapped.



All students were accounted for. The northern wall of the demountable building sustained extensive damage, and the entire roof of the classroom was caved in.

Some classes have now been transfer to Ulladulla High. Contact Ulladulla Primary School for more details.

Work has comenced on the clearing of the site. The Department of Education will be investigating into the cause the accident.

Maybe the Department at the same should review the location and over crowding of the demountables at Ulladulla High School.
