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.
