Please note the following points:

RPS INCLUSIVE LEARNING DECK PROJECT BEGINS 18th MARCH

We write to inform you that our school will commence Stage 1 of the Inclusive Learning Deck Project on Monday, March 18th. This project signifies an exciting development aimed at enhancing our play and learning environment for all students.

As construction begins, please note the following adjustments to access and traffic flow within the school premises:

The side gate near the Koor Indigenous Garden and the Foundation entry point will be closed for the duration of the project. There will be no student or parent access through these points.
Students will have access to the oval for play, but entry and exit will be via the junior playground.
This includes access and collection for Soccer X participants.
Safety fences will be erected, and vehicles will enter and exit the site using the designated gate.
Please anticipate traffic congestion in the area, particularly around the walkway outside the gate and kinder. We advise walking on the opposite side of the school and using the crossing safely.
The project is expected to span four weeks or more.

Rest assured, safety measures are of utmost importance. Students will be briefed on our expectations with workers on-site. The builders, experienced in managing school projects, are committed to upholding compliance and safety standards.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this period of construction. Should you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
