Coronavirus update - Wanganui campus - Greater Shepparton Secondary College

Details: Published: 19 August 2020

Dear parents, carers and students,

Our school has been advised that a student has tested positive to coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result, the Wanganui Campus of Greater Shepparton Secondary College will be closed for 48 hours to be cleaned. The school will be closed to all students, staff and members of the community. This closure does not affect any of our other campuses.

We will provide further information following further advice from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Be aware

To slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), Stage 3 restrictions now apply for regional and rural Victoria and Stage 4 restrictions now apply for metropolitan Melbourne.

All schools across Victoria have returned to remote and flexible learning, for all year levels, except for specialist school students in rural and regional Victoria, for the rest of Term 3.

Face coverings are compulsory for all Victorians over the age of 12. The exception to this is students over the age of 12 attending primary school, who are not required to wear a face covering while at school. Further information on the use of face coverings in schools can be found on the DHHS website.
