Our next meeting is on Wednesday 6th November at 6.30pm (in the Staff Room)

Buildings and Grounds Committee

Dear parents, after 18 month planning process, and a commitment from the Spring Fair funds as well as a significant contribution from the Parents Association, the Buildings and Grounds Committee did an amazing job in tendering and selecting a vendor for the grass work.

The oval areas have now been completed, providing more space for students to play, particularly during recess and lunch time. Im sure you will all agree the new oval and entire playground looks amazing, a big thank you to the entire Committee Richard Casey, Jenny Diab, Robyn James, Nick Lehman, Ali Ross, Jesse Spatt, Stephaine Spincer & Olivia Willee for their work in this area.
