Thank you for all your support during these
past few weeks of remote and flexible learning.
Following advice from the Victorian Chief
Health Officer, The Victorian Government has
announced that student, teachers and support
staff can to return face-to-face teaching.
STAGED RETURN
Schools will commence a staged
return from remote and flexible learning from
Tuesday 26th May 2020.
To support all school staff to prepare for the
transition, Monday 25th May will be a pupil
free day. This is important to enable the
planning necessary to ensure the successful
transition back to school can be completed.
The return will take place in two stag-
es. This will give the Victorian Chief
Health Officer and Government time to mon-
itor and evaluate the effects that the staged
return to school has on the increased move-
ment of people and transmission within the
community.
Stage 1: 25 May – 5 June
In the first stage, students in Prep, Grade 1
and Grade 2, senior secondary (Year 11 and
12) Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning
(VCAL) and Victorian Certificate of Education
(VCE) students and all students enrolled in spe-
cialist schools will return to school from Tues-
day 26 May.
Remote and flexible learning will continue for
all students in Grades 3 to 6 and Years 7 to
10 until Tuesday 9th June.
During Stage 1, the existing model of on-site
schooling for students who cannot be
supervised at home and vulnerable children will
remain in place. This means, a weekly onsite
application form must still be submitted, for
students in Years 3 to 6, who have to attend
school from 26th May to the 9th June.
Stage 2: from 9 June
All other grades and year levels will
return to school from Tuesday 9
June.
Once a year level has returned, all students will
be expected to attend school as normal. This
means if you choose to keep your child/children
home after their year level has returned to
on-site schooling, we can no longer support
their learning from home.
This same approach is being taken by all
government schools in Victoria.
To support the health and wellbeing of all our
students and staff, our school will continue an
enhanced cleaning routine and will encourage
frequent hand washing.
It is vital that if you child is ill or is feeling
unwell, they must not attend school. They must
remain home and seek medical advice. Please
note: this is not negotiable for the safety of all
of our students and staff.
While the Chief Health Officer has advised that
students will not be required to maintain phys-
ical distancing at school, there will be a number
of important changes to our school operations,
consistent with health advice. This will apply
until further notice. I will provide more detail
about our local school context as soon as possi-
ble, but it is important to note that changes
will include:
KIALLA CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Page 3
adjusted arrangements for drop off and
pick up locations; and
restrictions on access to the school site for
anyone other than immediate school staff
and students.
We understand that some families may feel
anxious about this move back to classroom
teaching and learning. I can assure you that
this decision has been taken on the basis of the
best health advice available to our State.
More information about the return to school
and coronavirus (COVID-19) can be found on
the Department’s website, which will continue
to be updated:

department/Pages/coronavirus.aspx
Thank you for your continued support and
patience during this time. We look forward to
welcoming our students back to the classroom.
Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Virtual
Information Session for Greater Shepparton
Secondary College (G.S.S.C.)
Last night families of Grade 6 students had the
opportunity to join a Live Virtual Information
session, hosted by the McGuire Campus
Principal John Sciacca and Executive Principal
Genevieve Simmons. They provided an
overview of the whole College and also specific
details for potential Year 7 students and their
families.
If any of our families would like to provide
feedback to me regarding this session, please
send me an email and I will pass this on to
John and Genevieve on behalf of Kialla Central.

Friday 29th May.

Scout and Monster School Raffle
As you are aware, we are participating
in the Scout & School Monster Raffle.
Tickets are $2.00 each, however, for every
ticket we sell we get $1.50 donated to Kialla
Central. Each family was issued one book of 10
tickets to sell prior to the holidays.
There are still quite a number of books
outstanding. We are accountable for every book
so they need to returned sold or unsold.
Please drop your book and/or money into the
locked letter box near the front door of the
office - drop them in there whenever suits.
If your book has been lost please send me an
email telling me this is the case. Thanks for
your assistance and support.
For all of our Kialla Central P.S. Footy
