Laminators
Following a recent service of our laminators, the technician identified incorrectly sized and improperly fed materials lodged inside the machines, which caused damage and downtime. Please ensure that all documents are placed inside appropriately sized laminating pouches with an even sealed border around the edges and that the sealed edge is fed into the laminator first. Do not insert loose paper, cut pieces, or partially sealed items. Place the sealed edge into the machine first. Taking care when using shared equipment will help us avoid further repairs and keep the laminators operational for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please do not place cut pieces into the machine to laminate. Use full A4 or A3 sized puched and then cut them to size.

Isolator Key and PG 6 Door
Please be advised that the PG6 door requires manual resetting using the emergency isolator key to ensure it remains securely locked.
Until additional tools are available, it is essential that staff check the door when in the vicinity and confirm it is properly secured, particularly following any emergency response in Playground 6. I
Thank you for your ongoing vigilance and commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students and staff.

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.
