23.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers, (Dari translation below) We hope that all members of our Dandenong West family have remained well and safe during the school holidays. On Tuesday the government announced that Melbourne would return to Stage 3 restrictions for the next 6 weeks. As part of this return to restrictions there will be an extra week of school holidays; the return to school date for students is now Monday July 20. Schools have been asked to prepare for a possible return to... learning from home, while this is not definite it does seem to be likely. Please check our Website, Facebook and the Skoolbag App regularly for more detailed updates. We will send urgent information via SMS messaging. I know that everyone will be disappointed that restrictions are necessary once again, it is important we remember this is for everyone’s health and safety. We will continue to support students and families. Keep healthy and safe, Bev Hansen Dandenong West . 6 3 . . 20 . . Skoolbag . . . . Bev Hansen

11.01.2022 Dear parents, carers, students and staff, Earlier today, the Victorian Government announced that, on the advice of the Victorian Chief Health Officer, regional and rural Victoria will move to Stage 3 restrictions and metropolitan Melbourne will move to Stage 4 restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). These requirements apply to all schools across the government, Catholic and independent sectors and across all metropolitan Melbourne and rural and regional Vic...toria. 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. As outlined in the Chief Health Officer’s advice on Friday, schools remain safe places for staff and students but these steps are critical measures to reduce the movement of students and families across the state. There are implications for our school, and for families in our school community. The information below does not outline the changes for secondary schools, specialist schools or rural Victoria. A summary of what the changes mean for our school is below. PREP TO YEAR 6 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: children whose parents are permitted workers. The Victorian Government will provide further advice about this over the coming days. vulnerable children in out of home care, children known to be supported by a range of agencies and children the school identifies as vulnerable children with a disability who also fit one of the above two categories. TIMELINE 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 across Victoria to enable teachers, especially in rural and regional Victoria, to prepare for flexible and remote learning. Wednesday 5 August will be the first day of new arrangements for schools across Victoria Our school will ensure sufficient staff are available for on site supervision. This means there will be some staff onsite every day. They will be able assist students and families. However we ask that you ring the school on 97922868. Staff not required for on site supervision will work from home and continue to provide learning and support for students and families. I will provide an update soon about arrangements for remote and flexible learning at our school. Please contact me if you require further information. Thank you for your understanding and support. Beverley Hansen Principal

11.01.2022 If you would like information about school and support for students where families are working please email the school at [email protected] and we will get back to you.

11.01.2022 Tomorrow is R U OK?Day, a reminder to start a conversation that could change a life today, tomorrow and any day it's needed. Learn what to say after R U OK? so ...you can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. Visit www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #RUOKDay #theresmoretosay #RUOK See more

11.01.2022 Dear Dandenong West families, I hope you are all well and doing your best to follow our government’s advice to stay at home as much as you can. Beginning on Monday July 20 students will return to learning from home. This will continue for at least the next 5 weeks.... This week laptops or ipads, and work for students to complete at home, has been distributed. If you did not come into school to collect these items please do so as soon as possible. We want all students learning every day. We know that learning from home can be hard for everyone in the family. Please contact your child’s teacher or the school if you need help of any kind. There will be ‘at school’ learning offered to students who meet the guidelines that the government has sent to schools. The ‘at school learning program’ is also available if ALL the adults go out of the home to work and there is no one to look after the children. Parents will need to fill in the attached form and either email it to school or bring it into school Friday morning. Children CANNOT come to school without this form being signed. http://tiny.cc/DWPSTerm3PDF (Follow link to the PDF form) http://tiny.cc/DWPSTerm3DOC (Follow link to the Word Doc form) Hopefully students will return to school in August. I know all staff at Dandenong West are looking forward to that time. There will be someone at school from Monday to Friday every week so that you can contact the office if you have questions or concerns. Stay safe and well, Bev Hansen Principal
