Newsletter 04, 20 March, 2020 Message from the Principal Dear Parents & Guardians It has been an amazing two weeks since our last newsletter. I have spoken to many parents who have concerns relating to the COVID- 19 virus and the impacts on their children and the school. We continue to progress planning for all possible contingencies in the event of school closure, and have been advised by Victoria’s Chief Health Office that all schools should continue to operate as planned for now. I would like to update you on the following: i) As of midnight Sunday 15/3/2020 all travellers who have returned from overseas are required to self- isolate. As such any student or family member returning from overseas should not return to school until 14 days after arrival into Australia and then only if they remain symptom free. ii) I urge all families (in line with government advice) to limit overseas travel unless absolutely necessary. This particularly applies to holidays over the Term 1/Easter vacation. iii) All off-site excursions have been cancelled until the end of Term. All assemblies/gathering of students/parents have also been cancelled. Our aim is to run instructional classes for as long as possible, so long as the school remains infection free and that Government advice is to do so. Obviously families will make individual decisions about whether to continue to send children to school during the next two weeks. As a result, I have made decisions to cancel schedule swimming program this week and school photos scheduled for next Wednesday. We are currently liaising with the swimming centre and MSP photography to reschedule. COMPASS is our school main form of communication with parents, where you will receive updated information of any developments at school.

Message from the Principal Dear Parents & Guardians It has been an amazing two weeks since our last newsletter. I have spoken to many parents who have concerns relating to the COVID-19 virus and the impacts on their children and the school. We continue to progress planning for all possible contingencies in the event of school closure, and have been advised by Victoria’s Chief Health Office that all schools should continue to operate as planned for now.
