NEXT INFRASTRUCTURE MEETING IS: Wed 11th JUNE 2026!

 

AWARENESS- Free Period Products Initiative

Our school participates in the Victorian Government’s Free Period Products in Schools initiative, ensuring all students have access to free sanitary products (pads and tampons) when needed. This supports student wellbeing, reduces stigma, and ensures that periods are not a barrier to learning.

 

In our school we have NOW HAVE THREE dispensers that we ensure are always stocked.

1. Dispenser one- Girls Secondary toilet in secondary breezeway

2. Dispenser two - Girls Secondary toilet in Yaluk Building

3. Dispenser three- Unisex Toilets in the Living Skills Area

 

Students are welcome to take a small supply to keep in their school bags, and staff may also include some in first aid kits for excursions to ensure access when needed.

 

If you would like more information, please let me know. 

Restricted Access Reminder: Please be reminded that when contractors are onsite and unable to complete infrastructure works outside of school hours, all “No Access” directives for affected areas must be followed immediately and without exception.

Some contractors may be using tools and equipment that must remain completely out of reach of students at all times. These restrictions are in place to ensure the safety of students, staff, and contractors while works are being undertaken.

Thank you for your cooperation and vigilance in supporting a safe school environment.

When requesting infrastructure, please complete the following two forms.

Infrastructure Request Form

This form is used when staff would like to request new equipment, furniture, or any improvement to the school environment. It ensures that all infrastructure requests are documented, considered, and reviewed by the Infrastructure Committee before any decisions are made.

Staff should outline the request, the purpose, who will benefit, any estimated costs, and how the project would be implemented and monitored. A risk assessment must also be attached if the request involves equipment or activities that may present safety risks.

Risk Assessment Template

This template is used to identify and manage potential hazards related to an activity, piece of equipment, or environmental change.

Staff record the activity being assessed, possible hazards, existing safety controls, the risk rating, and any additional controls required to reduce risk.

Classroom Incidents

Classroom cleaning incidents during the day

Cleaning spills on Carpet: Staff are expected to cleanup spills, bodily fluids and other actions as thoroughly as they are able. 

Absorbent Material (former Kitty Litter)

Please note: We now have a new absorbent product available for small spills (e.g. vomit) and for other minor incidents, which is called "SpillFix Floor All Purpose Absorbent".  This will help contain the spill quickly and reduce slip risks.

If a deeper clean is required, notify Mary (0467 728 193) so a spot steam clean if needed can be booked. Spot stem cleans occur at the end of the day. 

Please use chalk to draw a mark around the spill, leaving a 20-30cm margin around the affected area. This will help the steam cleaner locate and treat the spill efficiently.

 

Cleaning spills on vinyl:Staff to clean up spills as thoroughly as possible. After cleaning, email or text Mary (0467728193) to inform them of the spill and request a note in the Cleaners Logbook for additional cleaning, if needed.
