The Education Directorate has released a ‘roadmap’ for ACT public schools setting out further easing of restrictions on school activities and parent/carer engagement.
Based on the Territory’s COVID-19 recovery plan, the Directorate said that from term three, schools could welcome back families for scheduled events such as parent teacher interviews and small assemblies with physical distancing and hygiene measures in place.
“Onsite discos and celebrations can go ahead with no limitations on student numbers and parents/carers who can attend,” the Directorate said.
“Fundraising events will also be able to proceed but with limitations on numbers in line with broader community restrictions,” it said.
“Parents and volunteers will be able to attend school sites with physical distancing and hygiene measures in place.”
The Directorate said overnight excursions would be allowed to go ahead at Birrigai with interstate excursions and camps resuming where they were a necessary part of a student’s education program.
“Schools must adhere to COVID-19 rules within the state they are travelling,” it said.
It said interschool sport could continue within the ACT region with groups of under 100 people, including adults.
