Electing a new OHS Deputy
"Electing a new OHS Deputy – Your Vote Counts!"
We require a new Deputy OHS Rep and it's a great opportunity for anyone who would like to be involved. If you're interested or know someone who would be a great fit, now's the time to step up.
If you are interested, please complete the nomination form emailed to everyone last week. Please complete the nomination form by close of business 20 FEB 2024.
When the votes are in, we'll announce our new OHS deputy and help them transition into their new responsibilities. Thanks to everyone who participates in this important process – your involvement makes our workplace safer and better for everyone.
STUDENT MEDICAL FORMS
Kindly remind any parents to ensure all required medical forms are updated either through diary messages or during your designated SSG meeting. This includes any asthma, allergies, medication taken etc.
HAZARDS
A hazard is a source or a situation with the potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill-health, damage to property, damage to the environment, or a combination of these.
Please add as much detail as much as possible when reporting a hazard so that we can identify the problem and address it as soon as the team can. eduSafe Plus allows all department staff to report incidents and hazards themselves, or on behalf of other employees, contractors, visitors and volunteers.
PROTECTION FROM THE SUN
The school has submitted an application for Commonwealth Funding to enhance playground facilities throughout the school, which may include the installation of shade sails. Until we receive confirmation of the outcome, it is important to adhere to SunSmart guidelines when using playgrounds with limited shade, such as the Bird's Nest area in Playground 3. As per our JSA SunSmart Policy we strongly encourage you to follow the guidelines in the policy to keep you and the students safe.
