Upcoming maintenance works as part of the Regional Renewal Program at Coonabarabran High School will require working with asbestos containing material located in the toilet partitions and ceiling linings in Block B and Block G.
Testing conducted by an independent hygienist has confirmed that the material is bonded asbestos, which means it is attached to other material such as cement or vinyl and cannot be crumbled by light pressure.
The area is safe at present, and it has been cordoned off before works start and will remain out of bounds to students and staff until the removal and associated maintenance work is completed.
