Greenvale Primary School

The Student Leadership Conference, which was to be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Tuesday 17th March,  has been cancelled.

All student leaders will be expected to attend school instead.

The costs for the excursion will be credited to your child’s school account and can be used to pay for future activities and excursions.

As a school, we receive regular updates and advice from the Education Department about COVID-19 and implement these as required.

The Education Department continues to monitor the progress and implications for schools due to COVID-19.  They will respond to the advice and direction given by the Victorian Chief Health Officer and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and then inform all schools as to these expectations.

Following is some important information and updates about COVID-19-

1. SCHOOL CLOSURES – No government school is currently closed or in the process of being closed. Schools will be informed directly if there is any prospect that they need to be closed, either as a stand-alone school closure or as part of a local or area-based closure. You will be informed if that is the case for us.

2. School excursions to local parks and sporting facilities regularly used by the school, including swimming lessons held at a local swimming pool, can continue. All other excursions must be cancelled or postponed

3. All schools camps must be cancelled or postponed.

4. Any school event that involves attendance by community members who are not students or staff, and where total attendance will exceed

We had a big day yesterday! We started our rotation of activities on the giant swing, archery, team rescue, flying fox just to name a few. For lunch we had hamburgers and spent the afternoon at Amaze ‘n’ Things. Last night we sat around the camp fire and roasted marshmallows. Check out the photos!

Students have been competing in the mini-olympics today (photos below). Everyone’s having a fantastic time!
