Facilities & Capital Works 

Capital Works:

Works are steadily progressing towards a practical completion date of February 2024. there will still be some joinery that cannot be supplied until March so moving in is still a long way off.

The new electronic locking system will be delivered as part of the Capital on Works program. the agenda. My email and  the map I sent you last Friday afternoon indicated that we can afford 14 locks only as the total cost is $94,755. The locks affect everyone so here is you opportunity to help develop the best plan we can afford for the money.

If you  have questions or suggestion for  locks lock locations (swap one lock for another) please email Denise or come to the Yaluk planning meeting this Friday10th November at 3.20 pm in the CLH. 

We are still working on furniture lists so all staff and any who think they will be in secondary next year will be welcome to the meeting. We are also developing transition timelines. We had great feedback from staff who attended the last meeting.

The next walk through for staff will be on Friday 24th November at 3.15pm - meet near the entry gate to the staff carpark.  This walk through has been delayed as the gym floor is  being installed the week before. All staff are welcome.
