Principal Steve Leed said the Mitiamo bus line would be operational.

All other students are to make their own way if it is safe to do so.

The school will advise whether it will open during the holidays for students who are unable to attend to collect supplies and study notes.

UPDATE, THURSDAY MORNING: East Loddon P-12 College Year 12 students might find themselves revisiting the school during the holidays. 

Principal Steve Leed said the college was closed today because of inclement weather and floodwaters. 

Whether or not it will open tomorrow, on what is supposed to be the last day of term, will depend on today's conditions.

"We are waiting for further notifications about the potential to open tomorrow," Mr Leed said. 

"At this stage, it looks like at least three of our six buses won't be able to run.”

He said the school might have to open sometime during the school holidays if it can’t re-open tomorrow.

"Our Year 12s are right at that busy time of the year and will need to get into the school to get their supplies and study notes,” Mr Leed said.

Thirty-four of the school's 44 staff would have been unable to make it through road closures to get to work today. 

"A quarter of our students were unable to travel by bus due to road closures," Mr Leed said. 

A few four-wheel-drive vehicles were needed to help staff make it to the college's fete yesterday.

Mr Leed said the biennial event was well supported, and funds raised would help improve the school's gym. 

"It as a bit of a case of rain, hail or shine, everybody was just keen to get there," he said.

"Combined with our Big Give, we are going to have a fantastic facility." 

More than $13,600 was raised for the project by the Big Give, an online community fundraising initiative that ended on September 1. 

Parents of Bendigo South East College were notified about changes to their school bus routes on Wednesday evening. 

Castlemaine Bus Lines operations manager Cheryl Parsons said the only line not running on Thursday was the one running from Maldon Primary School.

A Welshmans Reef line can’t do its complete run due to water on the roads.

“Otherwise everything’s back to normal,” Ms Parsons said. 

Carisbrook Primary School is expected to resume classes on Friday. 

WEDNESDAY: Road closures and the threat of encroaching floodwaters left several central Victorian schools no choice but to temporarily close their doors today. 

Guildford, Bealiba and Carisbrook primary schools all asked their students to remain at home for the duration of Wednesday.  

Students at Campbell’s Creek Primary School were also sent home as a safety measure. 

Carisbrook principal Barbara Wilson said the school’s decision was made on the advice of local emergency workers. 

Ms Wilson hoped the more than 200 students had spent their day playing, something she described as "an important part of learning".  

She later confirmed the school would remain closed on Thursday.

“In the absence of any certainty about flooding in the area, we’ve decided to take the safe option,” she said.

East Loddon P – 12 College, in Dingee, will also shut tomorrow. 

Ms Wilson expected difficult travel conditions would keep many students and teachers away from schools that remained open.  

That was the case for students living in Maldon when Castlemaine Bus Lines cancelled six of its school-bound services yesterday morning. 

Most of the buses were scheduled to take students to Castlemaine Secondary College’s junior and senior campuses, a company spokesperson said.   

But by early morning, Back Creek’s water level had risen high enough that several roads in and out of the central Victorian town became blocked.

However, rainy conditions did not keep all the region’s young people cooped up indoors.  

Students at New Gisborne’s Montessori Primary School went through with a planned wet weather walk, an activity aimed at encouraging its young people to ambulate their way from home each day – even when it was raining. 

The only change to the school’s plan was where they hung posters designed by the students. The works were meant to be put in nearby parkland, but now line the windows of their school building instead.
