Plans for return to onsite Schooling

Biz – E – Kidz will remain closed (except for children eligible for onsite supervision) and will reopen in line with the staged return to onsite learning, as set out in the ‘Roadmap’. (Please see Principal Sarah's message for details in the newsletter). For more information regarding onsite supervision eligibility, the roadmap, and the return to school please see Compass messages from the school and the coronavirus.vic.gov.au website.
