Recent updates due to Coronavirus

Hello everyone

Seems like the best place to access the latest information from the VCAA is:

https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/news-and-events/latest-news/Novel%20coronavirus%20update/Pages/SchoolsandEducators.aspx

Apologies if you are already aware of this site, however, as Liz and others
have pointed out, it is best to know the source of the information being
shared on this list is directly from the VCAA.

Please check out on the website from the link above, the *Recent updates -
VCE FAQs and Previous update - Letter to Principals both dated 15 April.*
 Seems like further information you may be looking for will be posted at
this site in the near future.

Hope this helps.

Regards and take care,
Lorraine Tran.
