Thank you all for your hard work and commitment to the students and colleagues this term. You have all earned a restful break for the next two weeks and I hope you make a conscious effort to switch off and look after yourselves.

Happy Easter!

We have met with the cleaners and organised a timetable so we know when and where the cleaners are cleaning during the holidays. If you have a look at the attached map you can see when the cleaners will be in your class/area.

This term cleaners are shampooing carpets – which needs a full day. See below for when your area is being cleaned.

• Blue Area – Room 33 Cleaning happening on Tuesday 11^th April
• Pink area – Room 9 Cleaning happening Wednesday 12^th April
• Orange Areas (Rooms 14, 16, 23, psych office, therapy office, 28, 29) Cleaning happening Thursday 13^th April
• Green Areas (Rooms 1, 2, 3, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27) Cleaning happening Friday 14^th April

You are able to come into school any time you wish to, except for the day your area is being cleaned.

The cleaners will not be unlocking or unalarming areas around the school. This means if you want to come in you need to make sure you have keys/alarm codes or that someone is able to unlock/unalarm and lock up for you.

I will be in over the holidays on different days – and am happy to come in and unlock/unalarm for you -  you just need to let me know when.

Hopefully this works well, and everyone will be able to have all the access they need over the holidays.

Flu vaccination bookings were sent to all staff via email on Monday.

Please see details below and click the link in the email, or below to book your spot. Ensure you complete the consent form.

Dear Staff,

We are offering all employees the opportunity to receive the Influenza (Flu) vaccination this year. 

The vaccinator will come to our workplace and we can each see them and have our vaccination in private. It only takes 1-2 minutes of your time.  

Flu vaccination is the best protection we currently have against Influenza and Flu vaccinations remain very important in 2023.  Flu cases rise as international travel increases, and Flu is circulating in the Northern Hemisphere now.  The UK is experiencing strong uptake of flu vaccinations at work and in the community. It is important that Australians are also protected for their own well-being and to help ease pressure on our workforce and health system.
 
Medimobile's Medical Director, Dr Kirsten Baulch has advised that the latest national guidelines says it doesn’t matter which brand of Covid vaccine you are having, nor whether it is your first, second, third, or booster dose of Covid vaccination, you can still have your flu vaccination on any given day with no break between any of the vaccines.  

We have pest control coming in over the holidays to treat the mosquitoes in B Block and spiders in Rooms 28, 29 and 34.

Please be aware that you may see some dead bugs around these buildings when returning from the break.

Please find Bus Duty Roster attached for Term 2.

Reminder that we only require staff from Room 22 to meet Zayd off the smaller, 8.30 bus. 

Classes on duty are required to meet the later, large bus that arrives approx 8.40am
