No Part Way is Okay Walk today

Tuesday 19 November

As mentioned in last week's newsletter, there is no Part Way is Okay walk this morning.   Instead there is a Prep - Grade 2 Ride to School.  Staff will meet students and any parents who are able to help out at the corner of Geilston Bay Road and the East Derwent Highway.  The group will meet from 8:20am and will depart promptly at 8:30am to arrive at school for the bell.  All riders will need their own helmets.  Although this event is for Prep - Grade 2 students, older students are able to ride along, keeping in mind that the pace will be set for the younger riders.

East Derwent Highway Upgrade - Golf Links Road to Sugarloaf Road

An invitation to meet the project team.

Members of the East Derwent Highway upgrade project team will be visiting the school next Wednesday 20 November at 4:30pm. They will be available to provide information about the project and answer your questions.

The project will widen the highway to accommodate four lanes of traffic – two in each direction, with a new central median and safety barrier to reduce risk of collision. It will also improve access to the school from a dedicated turn lane in and through constructing a new internal service road.

More details about the project and future public display opportunities can be viewed on Transport Tasmania’s website, with an interactive map for you to leave comments.  For further information about the project please contact: https://www.transport.tas.gov.au/road/projects/eastderwenthighwayupgrade
