17.01.2022 Roadmap to easing coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions in schools: The Victorian Government has released its plan for easing coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions. It includes the following decisions about school operations. All schools will continue to provide remote and flexible learning for the remainder of Term 3, except specialist schools in rural and regional Victoria, consistent with current settings.... 5-9 October (first week of Term 4) Remote and flexible learning will continue for all students, except in specialist schools in rural and regional Victoria. VCE and VCAL students can only attend on-site for essential assessments during this week, including the General Achievement Test (GAT) on Wednesday 7 October. On-site supervision for children of permitted workers and vulnerable students will continue to be provided consistent with existing guidelines. From 12 October Schools in rural and regional Victoria Specialist schools continue with current arrangements. All students (from Prep to Year 12) return to full-time on-site schooling by Friday 16 October. Schools can stagger the return of different year levels as appropriate during this week. This decision can be made by individual schools or networks/clusters of schools. As soon as I receive further clarification from the Education Department I will send it through to you. I am expecting further guidance for schools later this week. Take care of yourselves and your families. Dot Coghlan Principal
