05.01.2022 As we all adjust to the changes recently announced for the Geelong area, we acknowledge that for many students this may cause varying levels of concern and challenge with regards to adults/teachers wearing masks in the school and community. We have attached a social story we have created to support in having conversations with children and reassuring them during this time of change. Families can use this at home and it will also be reinforced at school.
