Onsite schooling to commence full time from Monday 1 November for all year levels 

Dear families, 

Thank you for your efforts in Term 4 to help support the transition to onsite schooling. 

We are very excited to share that following the vaccination targets in Victoria, the staged return to onsite learning is being brought forward, with all onsite schooling to commence full time from Monday 1 November. 

Given this announcement, Kurunjang Secondary College has postponed its previously announced student free day that we traditionally organise for the day before the Melbourne Cup public holiday till much later in the term. 

From Monday 1 November, can I clarify that it will be school as normal for all students and all year levels every day. 

The earlier return of students to full-time onsite learning is great news for our school community and families. 

I am also pleased to announce that from Monday 1 November, a range of school activities will be able to take place so schools reflect the new community settings. 

This means that from Monday 1 November camps, interschool sport, excursions, school assemblies, music, singing and performances will be able to take place (in line with the community settings and vaccination requirements). 

From Monday 1 November, face masks will no longer be required outdoors by teachers or secondary school students but will remain an important part of our classrooms, and in the community. 

Schools have taken a number of steps to support onsite learning, including staff vaccination, ventilation, physical distancing for staff and students, staggered start, finish and break times, and mask wearing. 

Schools will be encouraging students to remain safe and practise good COVIDSafe behaviours for the remaining of Term 4. 

Thank you again for all your support and we very much look forward to welcoming our students back to onsite learning full time. 

Kind regards,

John Mitsinikos
