Last week we received exciting news about our oval upgrade project.

The expected timeline for the project is Monday May 27-Friday July 19. In the week leading to the start of work we will see the erec-tion of fences and signage. From Monday May 27 machinery will move onto the premises, the builders will be onsite, and the oval area/construction zone will not be accessible by the school. The Fernside Avenue carpark will become the Builders’ com-pound for the duration of this period. It will not be accessible to school staff or the public during this period. The Outlook Crescent carpark will strictly only be for the use of staff and families of our students with wheelchairs between 8.00am and 4.00pm I have negotiated with builders to keep access to the Big Ad-venture playground as much as possible during the works as well as to maintain access to and movement between build-ings or our students using wheelchairs. During the school holi-day period we have organised for parts of the works that im-pact greatly on access or onto adjacent play areas to be com-pleted. This is subject to ongoing review and progress. We are all very excited
