The repair of the School is being carried out following substantial damage sustained during the recent floods.

“Cleaning up and making the site safe is a priority with work continuing with the installation of a number of demountable classrooms, demolition and electrical work, asbestos removal and playground restoration,” Mrs Williams said. 

“Extensive works are also being undertaken to reinstate all permanent buildings which will take some time to complete with all internal walls, floors and ceiling linings to be removed, replaced or repaired and then repainted.

“The grounds of the school will also be extensively cleaned including the playground, clean out of all drainage and the reconstruction of fencing,” Mrs Williams said. 

“Whilst these rehabilitation works across the site are expected to continue until mid-September, the demountable classrooms will progressively be commissioned with a view to having students recommencing back at Telegraph Point Public School on Monday 3rd May.

“Until then, Telegraph Point Public School students will continue attending Hastings Secondary College, Westport Campus.

“Students will continue to be transported to and from Westport Campus with Busways,” Mrs Williams said.
