FACILTIES

 

Classroom relocations

Thank you to all staff for their assistance making the classroom transition a smooth process. Please thank your students for their help in moving process and setting up their new classrooms.

 

Storage and cleanup

Over the next few weeks maintenance will be moving items around the school to the allocated storage rooms.

There will be gold keys on these rooms and all storage requests will need to be approved by myself or Corinne. Please place any requests for items to be stored on the Maintenance Log for approval.

 

Big Bin

The big bin will be moved to the concrete pad staff carpark outside the storage room. DO NOT place items around the bin. If items do not fit in the bin take them back to your classroom and advise me and I will organise for it to be emptied. The bin is emptied every Wednesday morning before school commences.

 

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.

 

Gates around the school

The gates identified in the report will be repaired or reinforced Friday 7 June and the chains and padlocks removed. Please discuss with your sub school leader if a gate is identified as needing extra security.

 

Air conditioners can staff please make sure AC units are turned off at the end of the day. TURN OFF the AC units in the OT room & climbing room as you leave at the end of each session.
