Facilities & Capital Works 

CAPITAL WORKS:

This week there have been two Building works  start-up meetings. 

Meeting Room 1 is going to be used as a counselling room. However to meet current counselling standards the sound proofing of the room needs to be improved.  Works will start around 18th November. The room will be out of action for about a wee. More news when details come to hand.

Schools Upgrade Grant for Fencing and Playgrounds had a start -up meeting involving the VSBA and Brand Architects. An inspection of the site on a very wet day illustrated the area where drainage needs improvement. There is very little flexibility in the brief which was for the perimeter playground fencing, playground drainage and surface improvement and developing a new outdoor gym.

We will be meeting fortnightly from now on until the plan is developed. Information will be shared as it arises.

FACILTIES

Big Bin

The big bin has been moved to staff carpark!!!!

the recycle bins will still stay in the parents carpark as it is closest to the road for the days the bins are emptied and easier for the student to take out to the kerb and bring back inside. 

DO NOT place items around the bin. If items do not fit in the bin take them back to your classroom and advise for it to be emptied. The bin is emptied every Wednesday morning before school commences.

Air conditionerscan staff please make sure AC units are turned off in classrooms and meeting spaces at the end of the day. TURN OFF the AC units in the OT room and climbing room as you leave at the end of each session.

Facilities job requests and notifications: 

Log any jobs for Maintenance on SharePoint. When logging jobs please provide the exact location of the door, window etc this will allow Jacob to repair the item even if there is no staff member in the room. Logging the item in detail will enable Jacob and I to schedule the works and ensure they are completed in a timely manner. 

Workplace inspections & reporting items

If you have a maintenance issue in your office or room these should be reported in the Maintenance log immediately. DO NOT wait until the end of term to report these issues as many need to be rectified as quickly as possible to avoid incidents.
