Student Vaccination Requirements

Dear Students

The Department of Education and Training have provided us with an update in regards to Student Vaccination as follows:

Student vaccination

From 6pm on Friday 29 October, unless they have evidence of a medical exception, all students (except students undertaking secondary school subjects through a TAFE, university or other training and adult education organisation) who wish to participate in onsite education in our TAFEs, universities, and other training and adult education organisations must be fully vaccinated.

 Students who have only had one vaccination dose are encouraged to bring their second dose forward if they can.

 To book or change an appointment, visit the Victorian Government vaccination booking system, call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 675 398, or speak to your GP or pharmacist.

If you are already double vaccinated, I ask that you provide your COVID-19 digital certificate to Brenda either in person or email it to her at trainingassistant@ynh.org.au so that she can add this to your student record.

If you are not double vaccinated, please let us know so that we can arrange to have you link in virtually to your class via TEAMS.

I sincerely apologise for the constant changing, however we are following the advice that we are receiving from the Department of Education & Training.

When you are attending class on-site at Yarrawonga Education & Training, please adhere to the following COVIDSafe behaviours:

  • only attend on-site if you have been fully vaccinated
  • get tested as soon as possible if you have symptoms, no matter how mild
  • stay home if you are unwell
  • check in using the QR code and add your COVID-19 digital certificate to the Service Victoria app
  • practise good hygiene including regularly washing and sanitising your hands
  • when in your classroom, make sure the windows are open to maximise external air flow and good ventilation
  • wear facemasks whilst in class
  • maintain physical distance between yourself and others
  • sanitise your workspace after you have used it (this includes where you eat your lunch)

Take Care

Sharron
