Special Announcement

Following the Premier of Victoria’s announcement today (see below) in relation to the wearing of face masks, the College will move to Tier 3 of our Face Mask Policy from Tuesday 4 August (Monday is a Pupil Free Day).

Tier 3 insists all students (over 12) must wear face coverings at all times until they return to their home residence or the Boarding House.

Face Coverings are Mandatory for all Victorians

From 11:59pm on Sunday 2 August, face coverings will also be mandatory for all of Victoria.

The same lawful exemptions that currently apply in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, will apply across Victoria. These include if you have a medical condition or other condition that impairs your ability to wear a face covering, doing strenuous exercise or if you are unable to do your job while wearing a face covering.

Wearing a face covering protects you and your community by providing an additional physical barrier to coronavirus (COVID-19).

People who do not wear face coverings and do not have a lawful excuse can be fined $200.

As in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, masks will be made available to schools and vulnerable people living in regional Victoria.

Children who are under the age of 12 years old do not need to wear a face covering. Children who are two years or younger must not wear face coverings as they are a choking and suffocation risk.

Guidelines will be developed about how wearing a face covering applies in different settings in regional Victoria.
