Facilities Update
Nesting Birds (Curlews) on oval playground.- advice from Brisbane City Council.
“Fencing the area with the orange hazard fencing to deter people from interfering with the birds is the best course of action.
The birds will sit on the eggs until they hatch, then they will move into an area that provides shelter for their chick….”
Oval – rejuvenation project stage 1 completed- thank to you staff and students for your patience whist we have the oval closed to allow the new grass to take hold on the oval. The fencing will be removed Wednesday 6 November between 9-2pm. The soccer goals will remain in their current position to give the grass a chance to grow. Our schools officer has been able to mow the grass.
