Capital Works 

Yaluk Community Hub and Secondary Classrooms

Work has re-commenced on the site this week.  Contractors are expecting delivery of the steel on Thursday 6th April. We are expecting some of the framing for the building to be visible by the time we return from holidays.

During the holidays a new electrical kiosk will be installed at the northern end of the staff carpark. This will enable extra power to be delivered to the site.

 

Sensory Room

The building inspector is due this week to sign of the practical completion which allows the school to take possession of the building. There will still be a few matters to be completed and these will be addressed during the holidays. The sensory room will have jumping mats and other equipment moved into it early next term. The Occupational Therapist will then set up appropriate programs than can be used by classroom staff to provide the students with physical sensory input.
