## Resource

Mount Buller’s snow school, run by Mansfield Secondary College, faces closure this winter after the Victorian Department of Education cited low interest and declining numbers — a claim fiercely disputed by families, athletes, and local leaders. For seasonal workers like the Hookways, the school’s absence means homeschooling chaos and lost income; for students, it means losing a unique education that builds resilience and athletic potential, echoing Olympic paths. With no affordable alternative, the annex’s shutdown threatens the mountain’s “snow culture” and job market, as officials warn the decision fails the pub test — and await ministerial approval to keep it open.
