NEW SECURITY RULES - Cleveland District SHS

As part of a Queensland Government initiative the school gates at Cleveland District SHS (where our Head Office is located) will now be locked between 0930am and 1430pm. Access will then be freely available until 1745pm when the school gates will again be locked.

If you are visiting U3A Redlands before 0930am, you will have unrestricted access to the Head Office. If, however, you visit between 0930am and midday, you will need to either:

• Phone the office 3821 3888 when you arrive at the school, and Jules or the Volunteer of the Day will unlock the gate for you (please use the main gate leading to the School Admin building) or,
• Go to the School Admin block and ask them to phone Jules.

We know this is an inconvenience, however it is Qld legislation and will be happening in all schools, both primary and high, across the State. Thank you in advance for your co-operation and understanding.
