COVID Safe measures for schools

COVID Safe measures have changed but all Victorian government schools are required to continue to implement important practices to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Schools will continue to take the important steps of ensuring air purifiers are in use, external ventilation is maximised, good personal hygiene is encouraged and face masks continue to be made available for staff, students and visitors who wish to wear them.

Staying Safe Around Swimming Pools:

Don’t run around the pool. Wet surfaces can be slippery and a fall into the water can be deadly
No one is ‘drown-proof,’ even if you are an expert swimmer it can still be dangerous. Always have adult supervision when children are in the water and try not to swim alone, even as an adult. People can drown in as little as 6 centimetres of water, so keep an eye out for your family and friends.
Be within arms reach if your family is swimming
Always keep hydrated with plenty of fluids, you can easily get dehydrated in the sun.
Listen to your body and if you start to cramp or get tired, take a break.
If you have a pool at home, make sure you have a fence installed. Australian law requires that a pool or spa in excess of 30 cm in depth has a fence. Check your local website for sizing and childproof lock standards.
Clear the area around the fence of items that could be climbed on to get over the fence
If you use a small, non-permanent inflatable or plastic pool, empty it out as soon as you’re done instead of leaving it lying around
Don’t leave floating toys in or at the edge or your pool or your child may fall in trying to reach them
If you do feel like you’re starting to drown or get stuck – raise your hands in the air and yell as loud as you can for help
If you’re diving into a pool, remember to check how deep it is so that you’re safe when jumping in. Also, check no one is swimming under you when you jump in.

CCTV at our school

Launching Place Primary School have installed a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system at our school.

Our school has an obligation to ensure the school environment is safe and secure, and fulfil our duty of care to students, staff and visitors. The CCTV system assists our school to fulfil these obligations and to prevent and manage other inappropriate behaviour on school grounds. CCTV also provides enhanced capability to protect our school’s assets against vandalism and theft.

We have followed the Department of Education and Training policy requirements for the design, installation, management and use of the CCTV systems. This policy is available at: CCTV in Schools – Installation and Management.

If you have any questions or concerns at this stage, please contact: Launching Place Primary School, telephone number 59647783 and email -launching.place.ps@education.vic.gov.au
