Executive Director’s Update to Principals #69: COVID Update - 3 Sep 2021
Dear God,
We celebrate spring’s returning
and the rejuvenation of the natural world.
Let us be moved by this vast and gentle insistence
that goodness shall return,
that warmth and life shall succeed.
Help us to understand our place in this miracle.
Let us see that as a bird now builds its nest, bravely,
with bits and pieces, so we must build human faith.
It is our simple duty;
it is the highest art;
it is our natural and vital role within the miracle of spring;
the creation of faith.
Amen
~ Common Prayer Collection
COVID Update
In today’s Victorian press conference, Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed that a great deal of planning is currently taking place to develop a roadmap for the return of on-site learning in Term 4. Of particular mention were ventilation, air filters and testing to identify areas in schools which have poor airflow, as well as increased outdoor learning spaces. Further details will be announced over the coming days. Listen to today’s announcement here.
Facemask Supplies
The Victorian Government will be providing a supply of facemasks to all schools again this year. Further details with regards to timing and delivery will be provided soon.
Next COVID Update
We will continue to monitor the situation and advise principals of any updates. Please liaise with the COVID Support team (see left hand column) or your Education Consultant with any questions or concerns.
Stay safe and continue to look after each other…
Every blessing.
Andrew Watson
Deputy Director of Catholic Education (Interim)
