Dear parents and carers and students

I’m writing to update you about the situation at ÃÛÌÒÅ®º¢ – Wanganui Campus, after a student tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

I’d like to thank the entire school community at the outset for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), as the lead health agency, has now completed its risk assessment.

As part of its investigation, DHHS has identified people who have potentially come into close contact with the student who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). It provided direct and specific advice to these individuals and their families about quarantine and looking after themselves.

If you were not contacted by DHHS directly, then you are not considered to be a close contact.

DHHS has also advised the school it can re-open from Monday 24th August now that appropriate cleaning has completed.

If you have been identified as a close contact, you must quarantine for 14 days. You cannot attend the school until the quarantine period specified by DHHS has concluded.

Next steps

To slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), Stage 3 restrictions apply for regional and rural Victoria, and Stage 4 restrictions apply for metropolitan Melbourne.

All schools across Victoria will continue remote and flexible learning, for all year levels, for the rest of Term 3, except for specialist schools in rural and regional Victoria.

 On-site supervision in regional Victoria is available for students whose parents/guardians cannot work from home and where no other supervision arrangements can be made, vulnerable children and any child with a disability based on parent choice.

 Face coverings are compulsory for all Victorians over the age of 12. The exception to this is students over the age of 12 attending primary school, who are not required to wear a face covering while at school. Further information on the use of face coverings in schools can be found on the
