Update: secondary school vaccine program 

As previously advised, this year’s immunisation program has not been possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore the scheduled date of Monday 9 November will not proceed. All families who were participating in the program should have been contacted by the City of Boroondara public health administration team.

We can now advise that the following vaccines will be offered on Friday 21 May 2021:

Students in Years 7 & 8 

o   HPV9 (human papillomavirus) – first dose (second dose in November, the date yet to be finalised by the immunisation team)

o   Boostrix (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis)

Students in Years 10 & 11

o   Nimenrix (meningococcal)

Update: online lunch orders 

Classroom Cuisine is planning to resume its normal service (with a slightly reduced menu) four days per week (no Tuesdays) commencing Wednesday 14 October. 

In terms of food handling and safety, Classroom Cuisine adheres to best practice; following strict government guidelines, all staff wear protective masks and gloves and undergo temperature checks.

Update: instrumental music lessons in Term 4

Current advice from the Department of Education and Training regarding COVID-19 restrictions for this term dictate that Voice, Brass and Woodwind lessons cannot be held onsite. This is based on greater evidence regarding the potential spread of aerosols and droplets from the use of woodwind instruments and voice projection. As such, these lessons will continue online and as soon as further advice is to hand, we will advise you accordingly.
