OnSite QR Code
A friendly reminder for parents: Mandated check in using QR codes
Families will be aware the use of Service Victoria QR codes for electronic record keeping is mandatory for all workplaces to enable the effective contact tracing of any COVID-19 cases.
At SPS QR codes must be used by:
* all parents who enter school buildings when on the school site. If you are required to enter buildings on school grounds, for whatever purpose, you must use the provided QR code check-in at the front office.
* all visitors, including contractors, external Department staff and building and maintenance staff
*Visitors and parents must observe community face mask requirements when on school sites.
*QR code check ins will not be required for parents who come onto school grounds for drop off or pick up, but do not enter buildings.
Thank you for your support and understanding of this important health direction.
Sun Hats
We are officially into Spring therefore hats are compulsory when in the sun from now till the end of the year.
Water Taps
We encourage ALL students to bring their own water bottle for use at school, as students should not drink directly from school taps at this time, Thanks.
Excursion Contact Tracing
Due to the current public health directives all venues are required to keep records of all who attend their site for Contact Tracing purposes. DET have advise us that under these guidelines we must provide these venues with the Schools Staff and Students full name and a contact phone number from our onsite records. These records are only accessed if there needs to be contact tracing.
Thank you for your understanding.
