Dear students, parents, guardians, carers, families and colleagues

This applies to schools and families enrolled to attend Alpine and Gnurad-Gundidj campuses in term 2.

At this stage, all programs at the School for Student Leadership Campuses have been postponed. Please read on.

We are receiving enquiries about the impact of Covid19 on the potential operation of our programs in term 2 and beyond. Of course, the health and wellbeing of students and staff is our number one concern. We take direction from the Department of Education, Victorian and Australian Governments on the matter of operation or not.

The Premier has extended Stage 3 restrictions until midnight 11 May. As our program is a residential experience, the ability to socially isolate and distance is nearly impossible and unfeasible with Stage 3 restrictions. We cannot operate safely, compliantly and normally with the current advice.

However, please also note the following:

• All Victorian Government Schools are following the Camps and Excursions advice.
  The advice is:
  All camps scheduled to start from and including Tuesday 17 March must be postponed and rescheduled, or, if there is no other option, cancelled.

As a result, schools and students who were scheduled to attend in term 2 should be aware that there WILL NOT be a program at this stage.

We are waiting on advice from DET regarding the ongoing operation of our school in the current COVID19 emergency environment.

We are exploring a range of opportunities to provide remote learning, Webinars and other support for schools and students who would normally have participated in our program.

We will contact individual schools this week about their needs and desires to have our assistance with remote learning.

While there is no definite end point to COVID19 effects on our operation, we remain committed to enable students to participate in our programs in future if we can reschedule.

We will be making continued and ongoing assessments and taking regular advice from DET about if or when we can continue operations.

Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, Carers, Families and Colleagues,

This applies to schools and families enrolled to attend The Alpine School and Gnurad-Gundidj campuses in Term 2, 2020.

We are receiving enquiries about the impact of Covid-19 on the potential operation of our programs in Term 2. Of course, the health and wellbeing of students and staff is our number one concern.

The Department of Education is taking advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer regarding the operation of schools during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

While no changes have been announced for Victorian government schools to the Term 2 program apart from an additional non-student day on 15th April, strong advice has been provided for schools to prepare for a possible transition to home and remote learning.

We will provide advice on any changes to the program, potential delays to opening, or postponements as soon as we have a definite decision.

As with all Government Schools we are preparing for the prospect of remote learning, and will endeavour to continue to build the leadership potential of young people in Victoria regardless of our mode of operation.

Yours sincerely,
Russell Shem
Campus Principal, The Alpine School Campus

The allocation of school regions to School for Student Leadership Campuses is now available. This matrix enables schools to determine which Campus their school and surrounding region has been allocated to and in which terms across the four SSL Campuses in Victoria. We are really excited that we will be able to accept more students next year with a fourth SSL Campus at Don Valley opening in 2021.
