School holiday work
We regularly inspect and maintain schools as part of a comprehensive and ongoing program to keep school assets in optimal condition and to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our school community across more than 2200 NSW schools.
The school holidays are the ideal time for a lot of maintenance and project work to take place in schools without disrupting learning.
Planned work over the school holidays at some schools may involve working with hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead. This may include proactive inspection, sampling, remediation or removal of the material.
For more information on how we work with hazardous materials, please visit our Managing Materials web page.
Below are lists of schools that have work involving hazardous materials taking place during the upcoming school holiday period. Some schools receive more detailed communication about work taking place at their school. In these instances, communications are published on the SINSW school webpage (use the search bar on this website to find your school).
Check the list to find out if your school is included. All external work is subject to weather conditions. Please note:
- ACM refers to “asbestos-containing materials”.
- Safety measures, including air monitoring and fencing, will be in place as advised by the independent hygienist.
