Return to school, Term 3
Dear Students, Parents and Families,
Thank you for your patience in awaiting further information regarding the start of Term 3.
Now that the State Government has made an announcement regarding a return to remote and flexible learning I am able to provide some more clarity around what week 1 of Term 3 (13/7-17/7) will look like for Year 11 and 12 students at Cranbourne Secondary College.
I am also awaiting more details from the Department of Education and Training (DET) regarding the next six weeks of school operations. When this is received it will be shared with staff so appropriate plans can be put in place for July 20th to August 19th. I will then be able to provide further details regarding what this will look like for all other year levels at the College.
Some additional pieces of information since my last email:
- Year 10 students enrolled in an on site VET class are expected to attend their normally scheduled VET class,

Other FAQ’s
I am in Year 11 or 12 and I would like to engage in remote learning and not attend school, is this possible?
No. The College is not resourced to be able to provide this service. Any non attendance will be considered absent and students are expected to access work for Compass.
What happens if my temperature is recorded as being above 37.5?
A parent or guardian will be contacted and you will be sent home.
What if I am unwell but still feel okay to come to school?
Please stay home and access classwork via Compass and arrange for a COVID-19 test.
Do I need to wear a face mask?
Schools have not been instructed to enforce the use of facemasks. Year 11 and 12 students are expected to practice physical distancing with their peers.
Many thanks again for your patience and support,
David Caughey
College Principal
