Principal's Message

 

Dear parents and carers - it is with much excitement that we look forward to the students returning to school on Tuesday 1st February 2022 at 9am. My name is Julie Andrews and I will be Acting Principal this term.

 

 

Free Rapid Antigen Tests

 

Free rapid antigen tests will be available for collection outside the office on the first day of school.

Testing is strongly recommended twice a week for students and staff.

After doing the tests at home, if it is positive, you will need to:

  • let the school know
  • keep your child at home for 7 days
  • contact the Department of Health via the COVID-19 Positive Rapid Antigen Test Self-Reporting Form or call centre on 1800 675 398.

 

Vaccination

 

Getting vaccinated is the best way to be protected from and prevent the spread of COVID-19. I encourage all students aged 12 years and over and their parents to get vaccinated as soon as possible. To book a vaccination appointment go to coronavirus.vic.gov.au

 

Entering School Site

 

Parents / carers are able to enter the school site. At this stage, we encourage you to stay outside the buildings where possible.

 

If you have any questions, please reach out to your homegroup teachers.

 

 

 

Kind regards, 

 

Julie
