Clean sweep

Michelle Smith —

Meet our head of cleaning, Linda Iane. 

Linda has been a cleaner at St Paul’s for 17 years and now manages a team of 15 who ensure the boarding houses, classrooms and offices are cleaned daily. She estimates around 154 toilets are cleaned every day at the school. 

During the school holidays our boarding houses are hired out as dorm style accommodation to groups, clubs and organisations who wish to hold training camps, conferences or functions at St Paul’s. Linda and her team provide a daily ‘motel cleaning service’ when the school has guests. When these guests leave, the cleaners spring clean the boarding houses ready for students in the new term. 

In the last couple of weeks, Linda and her team have been sanitising the entire school in preparation for the return of our students and staff. They have increased their cleaning rotation and are continually reviewing their practices to ensure they provide the highest level of cleaning, to keep our St Paul’s family safe, when they return from the Covid-19 lockdown next week.
