52 Dates To Remember * Term 3 02/10/17 - 08/12/17 * Junior Assembly 03/11/2017 * Senior Assembly 10/11/2017 * Yr 6 Graduation 30/11/2017 * Student Council Free Dress 30/11/2017 * Christmas Carnival 24/11/2017 From The Principal Roadworks Night-works have now commenced and will be conducted for the next few weeks in conjunction with day works. In regards to the accident two weeks ago, the school has again contacted TMR representatives and OHS consultants to raise concerns about student safety. OHS have escalated the severity of the risk the construction brings and have forwarded recommendations to senior consultants within their department. They have supported the school in advocating for additional barriers to be erected along the highway where the car left the roadand entered the school grounds, and for guardrail to be installed along the new slip road adjacent to the school’s boundary fence upon completion. The school is yet to receive official correspondence from TMR regarding these requests. The school is aware that there is significant community concern regarding safety. In order to be taken seriously and achieve an acceptable outcome, it is important that we work together. The school is following departmental protocol in addressing the issue and liaising with as many departments as possible. This is a slow process and there are ways that parents/carers can assist us. Parents / carers are encouraged
