This morning we has another Project Team Meeting. From that meeting I can tell you:
- Our sewerage pipes are full of silt. We are having these vacuumed to try to clear them. As we have little faith in the integrity of the sewerage system both within and outside the school we are also having a tank and pump system installed that will enable the junior toilets by R17 and the hall toilets to be used. This must be in place to use on Monday.
- Water - Is on but the water pressure is very low coming in off Sandy Ave.
- Phones - are now operating.
- Power - is on.
- Demolition has started on Rooms 5-8. The stripping out of that block is underway. We expect that it will be substantially demolished by Monday.
- The floor levels in the Library, Resource are and Rooms 3 & 4 are being taken again. They will then make a decision on whether they repair or replace.
- 2m high fencing is on the way and will be installed by Monday.
- The relocatable classrooms will be on site on Sunday night. We have been told that these will be ready for occupation on March 29th - earlier than we thought.
- Steve has marked the trip hazards on the court and these will be removed.
- A number of our large trees are to be removed as their root planes have been compromised by the earthquake. This includes the two large blue gums on the back field, the tree near room 8, the tree next to the Learning Studio, and the large tree behind the hall. The other trees are deemed to be safe.
- The holes in the field are to be filled with top soil.
We are still, at this point, on target to start on Monday March 21st. The only things that can stop us at this point are sewerage and water. We have another meeting on Thursday morning before our Staff Only Day commences so I will update again as information comes to hand. I am optimistic that we will be OK and ready to go on Monday.
Your children will need to bring their own bottled, safe drinking water to school on Monday.
Keep safe.
John
