第二学期开学通知（28/04/2022）
各位老师、同学和家长：
大家好！过去的几个星期天气不错，加上政府疫情限制的放松，相信大家都度过了一个愉快的假期生活。我们学校从本周末（4月30日/5月1日）起正式开学了。
这里，先跟大家介绍教育部关于第二学期学生返校的重要注意事项：
- 学生接种疫苗不是强制性的，但是强烈建议学生和家长，接种疫苗仍是保护自身健康、防止病毒扩散的最佳方式。
- 卫生部要求学校所有教职员工和志愿者除特别的医疗豁免外，必须完成三针疫苗接种方可在校园内工作。
- 家长和访客如果不是在校园内工作，不需要出示两针疫苗接种证明。
- 学生或家长需要向学校报告Covid-19阳性检测结果，以便学校社区内的其他人员了解校园内出现阳性病例，并留意自己的症状。
- 学生和教职员工检测出阳性结果并完成7天自我隔离后，未来12周内不需要再做RAT自检。
- 从2022年4月22日开始学校内不再强制要求戴口罩，学生或教职员工可根据自身情况（如体质较弱等）选择在校区内是否配戴口罩。
- 所有人包括8岁以上学生在乘坐公共交通、出租车或与他人共享车辆时必须戴口罩。
- 校区内不再需要扫描QR Code登记。
- 所有教职员工、学生和访客在校园内要保持良好的卫生习惯，在抵达校园、吃饭前后、咳嗽、打喷嚏、用完洗手间后注意洗手。
- 所有教职员工和学生在条件允许的情况下尽可能保持社交距离。
此外，由于今年第二学期只有8个教学周，班主任老师需要写上半年度学生成绩报告，全校统一考试安排在第七周（6月11日/12日）进行。
在Mt Waverley 总校上课的老师、同学和家长们：由于日校新建科学教育中心，我校部分班级的教室有调整，老师和家长的停车位也随之有变化。请大家注意阅读学校另外发出的教室调整和交通安全注意事项的通知。
祝大家健康，保重！周末校园见！

Principal’s Message
Dear teachers, students and parents,
In the last few weeks, thanks to the beautiful weather and the ease of covid restrictions in Victoria, I hope you have had a wonderful school holiday. Our term 2 starts from this weekend (30 April/ 1 May).
I would firstly like to let you know some important issues that you should be aware of:
- Students are not required to be vaccinated to attend school. While vaccination is not mandatory for students, vaccinations are strongly encouraged as the best way to protect individuals, families and school communities from the spread of COVID-19.
- The Victorian Minister for Health has determined that COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for staff who work in schools. All staff are required to have received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine unless a medical exemption applies. The third dose vaccination requirements also apply to any visitors or volunteers performing work on school sites.
- Parents, carers and other adult visitors are no longer required to show evidence of two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine if not performing work or volunteering at the school.
- Students (or their parents) must also report a positive result to the school, either by phone or written notification; this is so the school can record that they will be absent while in 7-day isolation, provide support and learning materials as needed and let the rest of the school community know there has been a positive case onsite and that they should monitor for symptoms.
- Students and staff who tested positive and completed their 7-day isolation period are not required to participate in the RAT screening for 12 weeks after their release from isolation.
- While recommended, face masks are not required in any school settings from 22 April 2022. Any students or staff members who wish to wear a mask may do so, including those who are medically at-risk.
- Everyone including students aged 8 years and above must wear a face mask when travelling on public transport, taxis or ride share vehicles.
- Service Victoria QR code check-in is not required at school.
- All staff, students and visitors to school should practise good hand hygiene, particularly on arrival to school, before and after eating, after blowing their nose, coughing, sneezing or using the toilet.
- Staff should practise physical distancing 1.5m between themselves and other staff members or adults to the extent that is reasonably practicable. Students should practise physical distancing where possible.
Moreover, as there are only 8 weeks in Term 2 in 2022 and teachers are required to complete Semester 1 School Report in advance, the end-of-term tests would be scheduled in Week 7 (11/12 June) for all year levels.
For teachers, students and parents visiting the senior campus of MWSC, due to the construction work of MWSC, some classes would be relocated in Term 2 and parking arrangements would also be different. Please refer to a separate notice for details.
Keep safe and well. Let’s see you on campus this weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Hu, Principal
