Temperature Testing

As you may have heard through the media, one of the recommendations for students who are attending school in greater Melbourne because their parents are essential workers, is that the children’s temperature is being checked on entry to the school each morning.  At this stage we do not intend to implement this protocol for all of our students.  The advice to schools from the Victorian Chief Medical Officer, Professor Brett Sutton is “children who are at all unwell are advised to be at home”, and schools and teachers should exclude unwell children who present to school. 

We do ask for your support in regard to this issue.  For the health and safety of all, we will be adhering very strictly to this advice.  If your child appears unwell in any way we will be asking you to come and collect them from school.  Please be aware that there may be a need or requirement to check children’s temperature as we move further into the term.
