Facilities & Capital Works 

Capital Works: 

The Yaluk Building is nearly ready but realistically transition date into the new building can not be set yet, as there is still some joinery to be fitted. We are hoping that we start week 3 of next term in the new building if not earlier. 

The grass seeds that have been sprayed around the building are starting to sprout but can't be walked on for approximately 6 weeks which coincides with week 3.    The re-establishment of room 23 will happen during the holidays, we hope.   

The following is a transition plan that will be implemented but dates will be confirmed early next term.

Phase 1 (Yaluk Building)

• Tour for Rooms 25, 26, 27 (after joinery is completed)
• Tour for Secondary students who will be using Art room and Hospitality Kitchen
• Tour for Middle & Primary sub school – mainly the gym
• Social Stories being developed by Therapy team for Phase 1 and Phase 2 relocations.
• Transition of classroom materials, OT mats.
• Transition of students Rooms 25-27
• Transition Room23 back to own classroom.

Phase 2: (Middle to Secondary wing)

• Tour of new classrooms
• Social Story for phase 2
• Transition of Middle School Collaboration Room to Current Room 25 (Eastern side)
• Transition of Room 16-18 to vacated to the relocatables
• Setting up of science room adjacent to Therapy Office.
• Establishment of Living Skills space in Western side of current room 25

Parking next term: there will be 4 more carparks made available in the staff carpark once the temporary fencing has been removed. There should also be more street parking available.  All staff and CRTs are expected to use staff carpark or street parking.

The admin carpark (crn Landy Rd & Leitchfield Ave) is reserved for all deliveries and parent drop-offs and casual visitors (not CRT's). Admin staff and designated Senior leadership have permission to use this carpark.

Facilities:

Maintenance Fenced Area PG3 & Maintenance Shed/Greenhouse Area

Recently staff have been throwing rubbish or broken items into these areas. There have been multiple incidences of students using these items as weapons when dysregulated. If you have broken items, please put them into the big bin or if they are large items add a request to the maintenance log for Jacob to dispose of them.

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

Please be aware of your keys and keep them out of sight/non accessible to students as many know how to use the fobs and keys to access the staff carpark and external surrounds. 

If you have an ongoing issue with students opening gates around the school, please discuss it with your sub school leader and Mary Boutros OHS Leader.

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