Update on accessible toilet building work

The work on the new accessible toilet, off the learning street, has been halted due to finding asbestos in the floor vinyl from the existing space.  The vinyl has not been disturbed in anyway, meaning there is no risk to anyone.

Work is to be carried out next weekend – Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 Nov.  Preparation for isolating the site will begin on Thursday 17th.  Students in Pukekura and Giuseppe Sarto will be accessing their rooms during the school day in a different way and will be storing their bags in an alternative place for a few days.  Teachers will be working to ensure this is very clear for all students.

If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to be in touch with me.

Building work at school

Morena – welcome back to Term 4.

During the holiday we have had some internal building work scheduled to provide us with an accessible bathroom space that meets compliance standards.  The work has not been completed to the planned timeframe due to a number of factors.  This does now mean that accessibility into the learning street area needs to be changed for the start of this term. 

Can I please ask students and parents of students in Mission and Pukekura to use the double doors at the end of Pukekura classroom as your entry point, or alternatively through Mere classroom.  Can I also also that all Giuseppe Sarto students enter their classroom by the staffroom door. 

Thank you for your patience and flexibility with these short term changes.  I will advise when we can return to our usual access.
