COVID-19
Dear parents and carers and students
I’m writing to advise you that Weeroona College Bendigo can now re-open, following a precautionary 24-hour closure while a reported case of coronavirus (COVID-19) was investigated.
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) has advised the school it can re-open from 9/8/20. Eligible students will be able to attend school again for on-site supervision from Monday 10 August 2020.
Next steps
New arrangements have come into effect for all schools.
As you may know, all Victorian schools have moved to remote and flexible learning for all year levels, except for specialist schools in rural and regional Victoria, for the rest of Term 3.
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 DHHS website.

More information regarding coronavirus and schools is available from the Department of Education and Training (DET) on the DET website or by contacting the DET coronavirus (COVID-19) hotline on 1800 338 663, 8am to 6pm, seven days a week.
