Hi Parents, Carers and Friends of Greenwich Public School
The playground equipment at Greenwich Rd was re-opened this week and the excitement from our K-2
students was joyous!
As with all school processes in the current climate, guidelines from the NSW Department of Education
must be adhered to. Students wash/sanitise their hands immediately before and after playing on the
equipment, a timetable has been established to allow a different group of students each day on the
equipment and the equipment needs to be cleaned after each use. The cleaning is a massive undertaking
and so the decision was made to open the equipment only once per day at the 2pm afternoon tea break.
The equipment is then cleaned from 2.25-3.00pm. The organisation for something we previously “just let
our students use every day” took some time and I thank the staff at Greenwich Rd campus for
implementing all the guidelines. Seeing the reaction from the students when it’s their day on the equipment
has made it all worth it.
Build Update
The new boundary fence along River Rd and up the western side of the Kingslangley campus is almost
completed. There a couple of gates to be finished including the large gate on the River Rd driveway
access. This will be installed when all the work on the oval has been completed.
I am hesitant to write in this newsletter that our demountable classrooms are due to be removed this
weekend for fear of tempting fate, however all the remaining demountable classrooms on the Kingslangley
Rd campus are due to be removed this weekend! Finally! The next phase of work on the oval can then
begin.
Safe Active Travel Map
Last year, teachers Emily Tamborini and Siobhan Harburg were successful in applying for and receiving
a Lane Cove Council Sustainability Small Grant. The grant was for the creation of a site specific guide/map
to provide creative solutions to encourage our school community to be active using their own personal
modes of transport when students are arriving and departing from school. Mrs Tamborini and Miss
Harburg utilised various resources to create a map that details various public transport routes, safe bike
paths and recommended walking routes both to and between our two school campuses.
The map is being produced by BugMedia in the format of a Z-Card. This is a unique foldout with hard
outer covers that allows information to be condensed into a retainable and highly portable format.
Mrs Tamborini has recently been overseeing the completion of our school’s Active Travel Map Z-Card and
we will launch our Safe Active Travel Map during education week in early August.
