Dear Erasmus Community

Dear Erasmus Community,

We will continue remote learning for the rest of Term 3 under measures to control COVID-19 announced by the Premier, Mr Andrews, today, 1 September 2021.

From the Premier

• A detailed plan outlining the arrangements for Term 4 will be announced by the government next week.
• The state government was unable to announce any significant easing of current restrictions because of ‘a dramatic shift in the nature and the number of [COVID-19] cases’ in recent days, and the certainty that numbers would continue to rise.
• Schools continue with remote learning except for vulnerable children and children of authorised workers.
• These measures would remain in place until about 23 September, when it was expected that 70 per cent of eligible Victorians will have had at least a first dose of vaccine. Some restrictions could be eased from that date.

From Erasmus

We understand that many in our community may feel disappointed by this news.

• If you have any concerns about your child’s learning or wellbeing, please get in touch with your child’s Class Teacher.
• If you have concerns or are struggling emotionally or financially, please get in touch with Melissa, Catherine or me; we will do what we can to support you.
• Our chaplain, Travis Moroney is available to help anyone in our School community with wellbeing – especially during COVID-19 restrictions. Travis is very approachable, feel free to contact him via email travis.moroney@erasmus.vic.edu.au

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need to talk to someone.

Warmest regards,
Thierry
