Students and staff at Liverpool West Public School will be welcomed back to their classrooms on Monday, 11 March 2024 after full clearance was received from the independent hygienist.
This follows extensive work undertaken over the past few weeks to remove contaminated mulch at the school and fully remediate the site.
Students have been able to continue their learning at Gulyangarri Public School during this time.
More than 2,500 tonnes of potentially contaminated material has been removed under the guidance of the hygienist in line with Work Health & Safety legislation.
All areas of concern based on the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) investigation have been remediated with all mulch now removed.
The main classrooms and teaching areas of the school will return to usual operations.
Reinstatement of landscaping materials will continue in the coming weeks and will not impact school operations.
