Latest advice
The Victorian Government today announced new directions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
As a result, in line with the directions issued from Victoria’s Chief Health Officer, all Victorian schools will move to a period of remote and flexible provision from Monday 15 February to Wednesday 17 February inclusive.
Schools will continue to provide on-site supervision for students in the following categories:
- Children whose parents are considered essential workers as listed, cannot work from home and where no other supervision arrangements can be made
- Vulnerable children, including children in out-of-home care, children deemed by Child Protection and/or Family Services to be at risk of harm and children identified by the school as vulnerable (including via referral from a family violence agency, homelessness or youth justice service or mental health or other health service).
During this period, schools will, to the extent possible, enable continuity of learning from home. This can include remote learning programs and/or the provision of learning materials.
The latest information on the restrictions issued by the Victorian Government is available from the coronavirus.vic.gov.au website.
