Plan Ahead: Make Every Holiday Break Work Harder

May 12, 2025

Smart maintenance planning starts now

The new term may just be kicking off, but the best time to plan your school maintenance works is right now.

Early planning can ensure your high profile and high traffic areas are revamped and well-presented ahead of a new school term.

By using smaller breaks to assess, scope, and complete minor works, you’ll be perfectly placed to deliver major upgrades during longer shutdown periods—on time and with less disruption.

Maximise the Term 2 Holiday Break

Use this upcoming break to:

  • Complete minor touch-ups in high-traffic areas
  • Refresh staffrooms, receptions, or shared spaces
  • Take measurements and finalise scopes for larger projects

It’s the ideal time to set yourself up for success in the end-of-year break.

Use Short Breaks for Smart Prep

Short holidays are perfect for small jobs—and smart planning. A quick site review now gives you the data and clarity needed to:

  • Lock in major works for December/January
  • Align with budget planning and approvals
  • Avoid the last-minute scramble
