Facilities & Capital Works 

Capital Works:

Staff enjoyed a walk through the new building last week. I hope that all staff are thinking about the possibilities and opportunities that using the new building will offer the students. 

Accoustic panels will be installed on the battens on the walls to soften the noise and the heating/cooling ducts(black) have now been installed.

The last meeting for the Yaluk Planning Group will be this Friday afternoon 1st December. this will be an opportunity for staff to ask questions about moving into the new building, planning for transition and sharing ideas you have about how the building improve the way we work with the students and their development. 

A new building needs a new way of viewing our challenges and implementing more inclusive ways of working  with students.

The $94,577 funding has arrived for implementing the electronic locking system in 14 gates. This afternoon Omega Security will be doing their final walk through prior to installing the locks in January. With a bit of luck they will be ready for the beginning of the new school year.

Christmas decorations around the school

Could staff ONLY use blu-tak to attach decorations to the windows & woodwork? Sticky tape pulls the paint off the door frames, walls & roof & leaves a tacky residual on the windows.

Housekeeping items for all staff:

1. THANK YOU to all staff the sandpits in PG 2 & PG 3 are looking better, thank you to staff for encouraging students to keep the sand in the sandpits this has helped reduce the slip hazard when sand is on concrete paths or artificial grass.
