Health Measures
- The VSL will implement the latest health measures as determined by the Department of Education and Training.
- Face masks must always be carried by students over the age of 12 and also by all teaching and non-teaching staff.
- Face masks are not required in schools when people distance from others, however, they are strongly recommended indoors for staff and secondary school students in school environments when physical distancing of 1.5 metres cannot be maintained. This may include classrooms, corridors and communal areas.
- Existing exemptions continue, including masks not being required when teaching.
- Face masks continue to be mandatory on public transport and school buses.
- All teachers and students are required to maintain appropriate social distancing, and students need to use hand sanitiser as they enter a classroom.
- Until canteens reopen, students need to bring a drink bottle of water and, if they require it, their own recess snacks – food must not be shared.
- Parents are requested to maintain social distancing when they drop off and pick up their children at their respective Centres.
Our school is very excited about our return to face-to-face teaching in 2021.
Thank you to all students, teachers and parents for your co-operation and understanding during the challenging 2020 school year when we transitioned to remote teaching and learning.
We must, however, continue to maintain our social distancing and hygiene practices and wear masks when travelling on public transport or in crowded place. We certainly do not want to experience Stage 3 of the coronavirus restrictions again.
Best wishes to everyone for a safe holiday period and a smooth start to the 2021 school year.
