22.01.2022 Chief Health Officer Advice: Gastro outbreak There has been an increase in gastroenteritis in childcare centres - here is what you need to know to protect yours...elf, your family and our community. Gastro is highly infectious, so hygiene is particularly important. Remember: Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to prevent infection - alcohol hand sanitisers, while effective against some viruses such as coronavirus, are not effective against gastroenteritis. If someone in your household is sick, thoroughly clean and sterilise the areas where they have been sick to protect the other people in your house. Symptoms can take up to three days to develop and usually last one or two days, sometimes longer. Watch out for: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhoea Fever Abdominal pain Headache Muscle aches Symptoms can be more severe in the elderly and very young. Anyone with any of these symptoms should stay home while sick and for 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped. If symptoms persist - visit your GP.

21.01.2022 Kaniva College will again be running its Headstart program for current Year 10 and Year 11 students returning to Kaniva College in 2021.

Due to our VCE Unit 1 and Unit 3 Headstart programs running concurrently this year, a number of changes have been made to Year 7, 8 & 9 timetables to... accommodate the Headstart program. A modified timetable will run for next week (Week 9) ONLY, with Year 7, 8 & 9 students returning to their ‘normal’ timetable for Week 10. The timetable will remain unchanged for P-6 students.

11.01.2022 Its R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today were calling on Australians to learn what to say af...ter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says theyre not OK. Theres more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before theyre in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where were all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

08.01.2022 Reminder that when students are able to wear casual clothes to school they MUST wear fully enclosed shoes. This is part of our uniform policy and is a requirement of our OH&S guidelines. Thankyou for your cooperation.

08.01.2022 Many parents would now be aware that face masks are compulsory in all Victorian Secondary Colleges from Monday, 3 August 2020 (primary students are not required to wear masks). The expectation is that masks will be supplied by parents and worn in school. Kaniva College does have a limited supply of masks for students who are unable to purchase these masks prior to Monday. Kaniva College fully understands the limited availability of masks and will work with students to ensure ...they ahdere to the regulations. Primary students do not have to wear masks at school, however students in Year 6 who are over the age of 12 will need to wear masks when travelling to and from school, which includes when walking, riding or going on the bus. Exemptions do exist for students with conditions that prevent the wearing of a mask, however a medical certificate will be required for an exemption. In cases where masks are not able to be worn, social distancing practices will be adhered to. I would like to thank students, staff and parents in anticipation of their support with regard to this change. Ashley Munn Principal Kaniva College
