From tomorrow, students should remain at home if possible, as the ACT enters a seven day lockdown as part of the health response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Home learning resources by year level are available on the Education Directorate's website for students and families who wish to undertake self-directed learning from home during this period. In ACT public schools, formal teacher-led remote learning will not be offered during this seven day lockdown period.
Our teachers will be spending this time preparing to transition current face-to-face learning to remote learning should the lockdown need to be extended.
All ACT public schools will remain open for children of parents and carers who cannot work from home and vulnerable children for supervision and general learning activities. Those students will be able to attend their usual public school.
Year 11 and 12 students are encouraged to continue with their current assessment tasks from home.
Masks will be mandatory for anyone aged 13 and above who is attending school. Students 12 years and under and those with disability are exempt from mask wearing.
Schools will communicate specific arrangements with their student and family cohorts directly.
Out of school hours care and early childhood education and care services can remain open during this snap lockdown for children who need to attend, such as vulnerable children but most families are encouraged to keep their children at home.
The ACT Government's approach will continue to be informed by advice from the Chief Health Officer.
