The NSW Department of Education is introducing proactive measures to limit the impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in our schools.

Mark Scott, Secretary of the Department of Education, today announced that schools would adopt social distancing measures requiring them to cancel assemblies, excursions, travel, some events and conferences.

Mr Scott said these measures are precautionary and designed to reduce exposure via non-essential gatherings.

“Schools have been a focus of the community and the government as the impacts of coronavirus have developed globally,” Mr Scott said.

“From Monday onwards, I expect school assemblies and substantial gatherings to be cancelled, along with all excursions.

“The community expects schools to be as safe as possible. We are implementing these measures to provide peace of mind for students, parents and staff.”

“These cancellations also extend to inter-school arts, sports, initiative activities and events.

All major arts, sports and initiative activities and events will temporarily be ceased until further notice. This includes whole-school sporting events and inter-school events involving three or more schools.

“Local inter-school sport and other activities can proceed, but we ask organisers to ensure that as far as possible, reasonable precautions are taken,” Mr Scott said.

“I trust our principals and staff to show leadership during this time.”

Schools will be provided with more detailed advice and suggestions on how they can adjust their day to day activities with minimal disruption.

The department is continuing to prepare for further closures if necessary with scaling up of technology, additional training of staff and preparation of offsite lessons.

Families and students in self-isolation can find useful information to continue learning from home.

Rose Bay hosted an exciting round of the Eastside Debating Competition on Friday March 13 against Cranbrook. We had a series of competitive and engaging debates where our students were able to demonstrate their developing skills as they continue their coaching. Our wonderful debaters represented themselves and the school wonderfully. We had some excellent results with our Year 7, 8 and 11 teams registering victories. 

To all members of the school community,

Rose Bay Secondary College’s recently reformed Open Boys Cricket Team travelled to Jannali High School on March 10 to play in Round 1 of the Davidson Shield. Skipper Marley won the toss and elected to send the opposition in to bat under grey skies which promised much assistance for seamers and swing bowlers alike.

With Bondi Beach being in the world-wide media on the weekend I feel compelled to write to our College community to address the need for our students and staff to stay safe during this time. I truly understand that the beach is an integral part of the Eastern Suburbs family life. I also understand the pressure that parents/carers must have felt on the weekend with conditions such as they were and their teenage children wanting to go to the beach with their friends “One last time”. However, the message of social distancing must be adhered to by all in order for it to be effective.  I will not repeat all the information in the media that explains why this is important but If you haven’t had the conversation with your child yet about this I would implore you to do so and help them to follow it.
