My role is to support our staff that they overcome challenges, as Education Secretary you would think that is her role to defend us and stick up for us and guide us, and the comments seems that shes thinking looking at schools is not a big priority, and everyone else is sitting on their backside, i didnt spend my friday, saturday or sunday sitting on my backside, we try to find solutions. I was going to ask you when you heard. So friday was the first you heard. So friday was the first you heard that you had a problem at your school.

We sent that in and advised this is what we found out about these sites and asked for guidance. They said they would come out and do a survey at some point this term but theres no urgency, and then thursday the story broke and said 104 schools had been contacted and we had not been contacted and we had not been contacted at this stage, and we reach out to find out if we need to do anything and they came back to do anything and they came back telling us to close those spaces. As you can imagine, we are not in the metropolitan area, we are transit Fine Solutions for up to 1900 students and spent the last three days with Different Companies to see what we can get on site so we can facilitate learning here and looking at our site and see what can become at our site and see what can become a teaching space, what Creative Spaces can be used to put students in a classroom and get back to them.
