The Executive of the PSA and our Schools Team here at the union wish to extend our support to you all as members, and to all staff at Bondi Public School.
The fire may have caused you considerable concern and had an impact on you personally as well as the impact on the school. As always it is important for you to be healthy and supported both physically and psychologically.
The PSA, as your union, is here for you to provide you with advice and support. You can contact our Member Support Centre on 1300 772 679.
Your Principal is responsible for the safety for all staff and students on site. If you have concerns for your health and safety, please raise them with your Principal.
