Part of communication from Unley High I thought was important people should know, especially the last point
Firstly I must apologise for the stress caused by the media reporting things incorrectly and the rumours from a range of sources that are just wrong. I need to respond:
As I said in my letter yesterday the school is open and will not be closing until the Government say so.
Rumours said the school was closing to deliver the new online learning, this is incorrect.
VET courses are still running. Vet teacher have worked hard to make accommodations around social
distancing and strict hygiene. These are practical competency based courses so they need to continue
for students to successfully pass.
There have not been any more positive tests for COVID19. Rumour plus a report on at least one news
service were wildly incorrect.
Students and staff who were originally isolated by SA Health early last week will complete their 14
days of isolation tomorrow (Thursday) and will be able to return into the community on Friday. At this stage all are healthy but I don’t want to jinx their last day.
