Important Letter form the Department of Education and Training
Thank you for your work in ensuring schools remained safe during Term 1.
The Victorian Government has announced it is extending the RAT screening program for the first 4 weeks of Term 2. Thank you to all students and families who have played their role in regularly testing – we know that hasn’t been easy.
Your work has seen COVID-19 cases being picked up at the earliest opportunity, meaning less cases in our schools and more time in the classroom for our students.
The testing recommendations will remain the same next Term for students and staff with the recommendation to test at home twice a week
RAT Tests will be distributed tomorrow.
As we approach winter and flu season, the vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 remains the best way to ensure protection for students and staff. The Easter break is a good opportunity to get your child vaccinated ahead of this, with many options across GPs, pharmacies, and the state-run vaccination clinics.
If you have any concerns or worries about getting your child vaccinated, please get in contact with your GP or another health professional who can answer your concerns.
Thank you again for all your support over Term 1, we couldn’t have done it without you.
