Dear Parents,

On Wednesday 17 July at 1.35pm we restricted access to an external area to the library due to damage caused to the wall.

The school’s Built Environment Materials Information Register (BEMIR) indicates that the sheeting may be made of fibro, which may contain asbestos. Repairs and a professional clean are to be undertaken. 

These precautions will ensure that all students and staff are kept safely away from the area.  As you would be aware I take the issue of student and staff safety very seriously.

Sample testing was done by Building Assets Services on Wednesday 17 July at 2.15pm. This sample was tested by COHLABS at Greenslopes laboratory and the results were NO Asbestos detected and was detected to be organic fibre. Clearance Certificate No: 18-11703.

We have engaged a contractor to make repairs to the wall this week.
