Well Bob, when you can Use grammar and syntax properly, you might get a day off school.

Maffra Secondary College buses from Heyfield to Maffra should not run as we are basicly in the bush and fire can strike us at any time and i heard that fires were being lit at Glenmaggie by arsonists.

What about the buses for Warragul PS? I have been hearing conflicting reports that the school is open/closed so I don't know what to think

I would take what is written here as the official version of which schools are closing.
