Hi everyone.
I know lots of kids and their parents are concerned about Term 2 starting next week and how that will happen.
It will look a bit different across the state – but the main thing to know is that government schools will be moving to remote and flexible learning.

That means teachers will run all their classes remotely.
If students don't have access to a computer or device at home, we'll loan them one.
And we will provide internet access for thousands of students who need it most.

Kids whose parents still have to go to work can continue to attend school – and we'll provide supervision.
But I want to be clear on this: they'll be learning remotely, just like everyone else.
If kids can learn at home, they must learn at home.

We don't want any more students or staff than absolutely necessary to be at school.

The GAT will take place in October or November, with other exams currently being rescheduled
As soon as we know the new dates I'll let you know.
We're working with TAFEs and universities to plan for 2021. We will not let this disadvantage a single Victorian student.

I appreciate how difficult this is for everyone. I've got three teenagers at home in exactly the same boat.
But we will make this work. We have to.
And finally, to our hard-working teachers and school staff:
Thank you for everything. You are truly irreplaceable.
