Capital Works Report

Inclusive School Fund - Sensory Room

It is getting close to the end. The cladding at the bottom of the building needs to be installed and left over building materials removed from site. The inside of the room has part of one wall  padded for students to bounce into for sensory input to shoulders and hips.  There will be provision for suspension equipment to be installed as required shortly. 

Yaluk Building 

Work has been on hold for a couple of weeks as we wait for the delivery of steel. The first delivery is scheduled for 4th April so lets hope there can be some development of the building after then.

As the site is vacant at the moment the contractors has strengthened security by installing shade cloth to the temporary fencing in the staff carpark. Someone is checking the site daily.

Facilities Managers Report

Over the last few weeks the grounds at the school have had a facelift. Mulch has been added to the Middle School outdoor learning area and the dividing fence removed. This has created a great space to students to work at the installed tables or to relax under the trees. Mulch has also been added to the area around the Music Room, bus loop & parents carpark. Making all areas more welcoming for staff, students & parents.

More works are planned for during the Term 1 break

• Ramp to bike container in bus loop
• Secondary Outdoor learning space
• Installation of new Birds nest swing & rubber safe fall area in Playground 3
