Abstract

The four classical elements – earth, air, fire and water – have affected Australian schools this summer, in the form of cyclones, bushfires and floods. Floods in Queensland, northern New South Wales and Victoria inundated schools and had a devastating impact on many teachers and students. The Queensland Department of Education and Training and school staff readied 89 of 92 schools that were inundated in January for the new school year.
