Dear Parents and Carers
The Victorian Government announced that, on the advice of the Victorian Chief Health Officer, metropolitan Melbourne will move to Stage 4 restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
The changes to schools’ operations will come into effect from Wednesday 5 August, following a student free day on Tuesday 4 August, and are likely to apply until the end of Term 3.
There are implications for our school, and for families in our school community.
A summary of what the changes mean for our school is below.
· Prep to Year 6 students will continue with remote and flexible learning.
· The criteria for students that can attend on-site has changed as follows:
o children whose parents are permitted workers. The Victorian Government will provide further advice about this today
o vulnerable children in out of home care, children known to child protection and other agencies and children the school identifies as vulnerable
o children with a disability who also fit one of the above two categories.
TIMELINE
· Today, Monday 3 August will be a ‘normal’ day of school under current arrangements, with students attending on site learning asked to take all their necessary learning materials home.
· Tuesday 4 August will be a student-free day to enable staff to prepare for long term flexible learning. Please note there will be no teacher Zoom meetings or teacher support available tomorrow.
· Wednesday 5 August will be the first day of new arrangements for schools across Victoria
Further information will come to hand today and will be communicated with you.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Stay safe and well. We will get through this together.
Yours Sincerely,
Jennifer Hawkins
Principal
