Dear families,

I am writing to provide an update on arrangements for Friday, 12 December.

Due to planned stop-work action, our school will be closed to students on Friday morning, as we will be unable to safely supervise students during this period.

The school will reopen to students from 12.00pm, with classes commencing at 12.15pm.

We recognise these closures due to industrial action will impact families; it is regrettable that school closure action is necessary, however, we must be able to ensure adequate safety and supervision of students.

If you are concerned you will be unable to make alternative arrangements for your child, please contact our office as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Lisa Wright
Principal

Dear families and carers,

We have been advised of planned works at a property neighbouring our school, scheduled to take place on December 2 after 4pm.

These works involve the removal of asbestos from a structure on the property.

The works will be carried out by licensed asbestos specialists, and we have been advised that all required safety precautions will be in place throughout the process.

The company have lodged the asbestos removal with WorkSafe and are compliant with all aspects of asbestos removal processes and their Asbestos Removal Control Plan.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.

Kindest regards,
Lisa Wright,
Principal.
