Primary Toilets Upgrade

In 2016 the Governing Council Grounds and Buildings Committee began investigating the refurbishment of the Fisher Toilets. These toilets service approximately 300 students per day and OSHC.  As you would be aware the toilets have passed there used by date and need to be totally refurbished. 

 

The Grounds and Buildings Committee has been working with Spotless our facilities manager for the past 18 months and we are now able to announce that works on the refurbishment will begin during the next school holidays and will be completed ready for the start of term 4. 

 

During this period there will be temporary toilets on site based near the Gym and Torrens for students to use. 

 

This is a large scale project that has a budget of $150 000 and will provide modern facilities for our students for years to come. 

 

If you have any questions regarding the project please contact tyson.grinham428@schools.sa.edu.au

Torrens Plaza

Over the past 12 months the Torrens Team in collaboration with the Grounds and Buildings Committee have been discussing the possibility of designing and building an outdoor learning area in the space between Torrens, Tirkandi and the Gym which is currently paved. 

 

The Torrens Team has been working with Ian Murphy from Naturespace Consulting to design an outdoor space which meets the everyday learning needs of students and follows the approach that we have across the rest of the school with regards to Nature Play. 

 

It is really exciting to inform the community that we have finalised an exciting design and are about to go out too tender. Please see below for details regarding the space. 

This project is scheduled to start in the October school holidays and will be completed ready for the begining of 2020.

 

As you can see the Grounds and Buildings Committee has been extremely busy over the past 2 years and we are now about to see all the hard work come to life. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in getting these projects to happen.
