Air purification
A hot topic has been how to make sure indoor spaces at schools are as healthy as possible. The Department of Education has conducted an air quality audit of Forest Lodge Public School. Unfortunately, the Department's response is a directive to keep operable windows and doors open to maintain airflow. However, this is only viable in good weather. The principal has purchased 10 air purifiers for school classrooms and the P&C launched a fundraising campaign to help fund the remainder of the air purifiers needed, along with the maintenance costs. We've also lobbied the NSW Education Minister, Sarah Mitchell, the local MP, Jamie Parker, and the Opposition Education lead.
