COVID-19 ADVICE specific for Lake Tuggeranong College

The ACT Chief Minister announced that from 5pm 12/2/2021 ACT public school students should stay at home while the ACT enters a seven day COVID-19 lock down.

Families should keep their children at home if they can. All ACT public schools will remain open for vulnerable children and for children whose parents cannot work from home.

Year 11 and 12 students are encouraged to continue with their current assessment tasks.

Our teachers will be spending this time preparing to move to remote learning should the lockdown be extended.

All students aged 12 and older are required to wear masks at all times outside of the home. Younger children are exempt. Any person who has a physical or mental health illness or condition, or disability, which makes wearing a face mask unsuitable is not required to wear a mask.

As you can appreciate, this is a fast-moving situation and we will do our best to keep you informed. To assist parents, carers and the broader college community, frequently asked questions and other information is available on the Education Directorate website.

I’d also like to acknowledge the strength of our school community. I’d like to acknowledge this has been a challenging period for our families and students, and I thank you for your continued support of each other.

I will write to you if further decisions are made that impact our college.

Please also regularly check the latest advice from ACT Health at Home - COVID-19 (act.gov.au), and more information will be available from ACT Health social media channels.

Regards,

Tom Kobal

Principal
