HAVEN'T TOUCHED THIS ONE

All schools have been assessed to increase fresh air circulation and this may involve changes to ventilation, modified HVAC system settings and maximising the use of outdoor learning spaces.

Given Lyneham High's experience as an exposure location, we have worked closely with officers from the Infrastructure and Capital Works section to understand and review ventilation at our school. This has also included consultation with Work Health and Safety representatives.

Measures to improve and maximise ventilation will include:

• • Windows being open in classrooms and corridors to provide fresh air and cross ventilation

  • Ceiling fans and split system air-conditioning units being turned on to promote air circulation

  • Classroom doors being open when classes are operating

  • External doors being left open to provide ventilation to common areas and corridors

  • Air ventilation units being left on where possible

Due to the implementation of these measures across all areas of the school building, staff and students should ensure they come prepared for inclement conditions that may result from opening up the school and maximising air circulation.
