The latest information about coronavirus (COVID-19) and schools is on the Department of Education and Training website: education.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

And, finally, a reminder that if you, your child, or a family member develops symptoms of a fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell or taste, you should get tested at a coronavirus (COVID-19) testing facility and stay home. This is vitally important to keeping our school community safe.

Health and Hygiene at school
To support the health and well-being of all our students and staff, our school will continue an enhanced cleaning routine throughout the day and all students will be washing their hands frequently using anti-bacterial hand sanitizer.
Our staff will be reminding students of correct health behaviours and protocols each day.
If you child is ill or is feeling unwell, they must not attend school. They must remain home and you must seek medical advice.
The school has purchased electronic temperature scanners which will used as required, mainly at the start of the day.
While the Chief Health Officer has advised that students will not be required to maintain physical distancing at school, we will err on the side of caution and act in accordance with health advice.
Drop off and Pick up and access to the school site
Students will have a daily meeting place where they will meet their teacher each morning.
All staff and students will use anti-bacterial sanitizer each time they come inside the classroom or buildings.
Parents are requested to organize a regular place to meet their child after school. It would be great if parents stayed in their cars.
Parents are not to enter the school grounds for pick up or drop off. You will be asked to leave the school grounds if you do.
If you need to speak to a teacher please ring the school on 9306 7900.
Parents are also requested to stay away from other parents and families until this crisis is over.
This decision has been taken on the basis of the best health advice available to our state.
