(a) If not, why not? (2) Will a permanent glass shield be installed at the Newcastle Interchange customer service counter to protect staff? (a) If not, why not? Answer— I am advised: A risk assessment was conducted at Newcastle Interchange in consultation with staff in regard to the tasks the staff at the customer service desk undertake. The risk assessment determined that installing the temporary perspex protection screens would reduce the risk of exposure to vomit⁄urine⁄faeces⁄blood⁄spitting. The screens are not security screens but are intended to prevent accidental or inadvertent airborne particles being transmitted between the employee and customer. The risk assessment recommended that only two screens should be installed. However a decision was made to install a further two screens along the counter. A review of the additional screens, which are a different height to the original two screens, has led to them being replaced with screens the same size as the original two screens. Transport for NSW provides masks for customer facing and other frontline people who work in situations where it is difficult to maintain physical distancing. This includes people working on public transport services, at interchanges, at heavy vehicle weighing stations, school crossing supervisors, concierge 3638 Legislative Council Questions and Answers No. 374— Tuesday 3 November 2020 services and in frontline roles such as traffic emergency patrols, boating safety officers and maintenance staff.

  • MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343
    RE: SUBMISSION - MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343 Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission. I object to the planning application to relocate Marsden High School situated since 1959 (60 years) on an attractive spacious 5.4 hectare site with excellent transport links at 22a Winbourne St, West Ryde (close to Victoria Rd) to part (about 60%, that is approximately 1.98 hectares) of the 3.3 hectare site adjacent to the TAFE NSW Meadowbank Campus at 2 Rhodes St Meadowbank. The application aims to increase built capacity for high school students, ultimately catering for 1,500 students and a 120 place Intensive English Centre (IEC), that is, 1,620 students and provide high quality classrooms and collaborative learning spaces. There is a need for more classrooms for high school students, but the application seeks to crowd 1,620 students into a 1.98 hectare area which is only 36%, or about a third, of the existing Marsden High School site. This does not make sense planning or educational sense. I note that a primary school catering for 1,000 students will be sharing the proposed 3.3 hectare school site, that is, 2,620 school students overall. Adjoining the site is the approximately 6 hectare TAFE campus which will cater for 13,000 to 14,000 students and is subject to a separate State Significant Development Application. In contrast, nearby Epping Boys High School enjoys a 9.15 hectare school site. Essentially I consider the planning for the high school as outlined in the application documents to be flawed as it lacks a holistic approach, lacks context, has a narrow, focus and contains some factual errors.

  • Excellence Innovation Success
    The fortnightly newsletter of Castle Hill High School EXCELLENCE INNOVATION SUCCESS Volume 10 29 June 2012 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Trial Higher School Certificate countdown Students in Year 12 will have the opportunity in the coming holiday break to continue preparations for their Trial HSC examinations which will commence in Week 2 of Term 3 on Monday July 30. The careful management of the two week break so that there is plenty of timetabled study, together with selected recreational and leisure time is the perfect recipe for minimising stress. Students are encouraged to exercise and/or get some fresh air, eat well and healthily starting with a large delicious breakfast, sleep for at least 8 hours a night, drink water, establish a study timetable and follow it religiously, plan for treats like a film, favourite TV show or social occasions, organise and tidy the study area and restrict social media (perhaps even ban it for the fortnight!). For parents of HSC students, I say it every year (but I think it’s worthwhile repeating) – all we can do is provide healthy, delicious food, back away from constant reminders about study (it’s definitely time to release them), offer a kind and ready ear, be particularly nice to them (even if they are moody and remote) and keep your fingers crossed. The Higher School Certificate is without question one of life’s great challenges, so much more public, accountable and competitive than ever. There is so much pressure on young people these days. Our support of them is critical. New pergolas The final touches have just been made to our new shade structures.
