Update of Possible breach of COVID-19 restrictions

/

Dear parents,

This morning SAPOL stopped a school bus with some of our students on it in relation to a possible breach of COVID-19 restrictions.

All families of children on the bus have been contacted and their children are in the process of being taken home until further health advice is provided.

I will update you as soon as I know more.

Regards,

Adie Conley, Deputy Principal

Good morning Families and Staff

This message is to acknowledge and thank you for continuing to follow SA Health guidelines as you enter our school. While there’s currently no community transmission of COVID-19 in South Australia, it’s important we remain prepared to respond to the fast-changing nature of the pandemic.

Recent outbreaks in other jurisdictions highlight the importance of remaining prepared.

The QR codes located around the school are helping with the sign in process. Staying away when unwell, regularly washing/sanitising your hands and social distancing will all help us keep COVID-19 at bay.

The COVID-19 vaccine is being rolled out in phases across South Australia to ensure priority groups can access the vaccine.  

For more information visit SA Health.

 Stay Safe

Amanda O’Shea

Good Afternoon Families and Staff

Hopefully you are aware of the 6-day hard lock down being cancelled and now the state will engage in a step-down process to manage the virus in this state. The result for us is;

School is open for ALL students on Monday.

Students who are vulnerable or share home with a vulnerable member of their family can access learning online. Please note that this learning will not be the same as what will happen in our classrooms. This learning can be accessed online from either DAYMAP or ONENOTE. Alternatively, you may access learning through the Learning SA site which can be found on the Department for Education website

Any relevant changes to this information will be published for families through our regular Facebook, School Stream, Day Map and the school website www.vhhs.sa.edu.au.

I am waiting on clarification from Department for Education on many matters and will post information about the Presentation Event and the year 7 Transition event mid next week.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the “skeleton staff” who have supported both the smooth running of the school and the 1 or 2 students who attended the site.

Stay Safe

We are very mindful of adhering to the principle of keeping as many people out of community circulation as possible for the 6-day hard lockdown.

We had 2 students attend the site today (8:50am – 3:15pm). If no students arrive onsite, please be advised the school will be closed and the “skeleton staff” assigned will return home. In this situation, families will be notified through our regular Facebook, School Stream, Day Map and the school website www.vhhs.sa.edu.au.

 Monday and Tuesday are Student Free Days for staff to prepare for remote / online learning from home. Please note packages of hard copy materials will not be delivered or able to be collected by families on these days. There will be a “skeleton staff” on site Monday and Tuesday if students do attend but no set learning will take place on these days.

Stay Safe

Amanda O’Shea, Principal
