We are more than two years into the global pandemic. Western Australia was impacted by Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021 in a very different way to those in our Victorian and New South Wales schools, and the rest of the world. The wave of Omicron cases we experienced earlier in the east, and are experiencing in such large numbers currently in the west, has tested our communities. Schools have done a remarkable job this past term managing the rising Covid caseloads. Our principals, teachers, chaplains and all other staff have worked tirelessly to support students, families and one another as positive case numbers rose daily in our schools. From the first reported Covid-positive cases in our schools at the start of the year, living with the virus as a highly vaccinated community has been the focus. Keeping schools safely open and ensuring the continuity of teaching and learning, pastoral care and support remains our priority. NEW ASC SCHOOL Last month we launched a new ASC school in Victoria. All Saints Anglican School in Shepparton joins our other three eastern sates schools in the Diocese of Wangaratta. It will open with all classes Preparatory to Year 7 in 2024 and grow through to Year 12 by 2029. All Saints will be the first new school opened by the ASC outside WA. Cathedral College Wangaratta (CCW), Cobram Anglican Grammar School and Trinity Anglican College Albury-Wodonga were existing schools acquired by the ASC; CCW from 2011 and the other two from 2015. All Saints is located on a 16-hectare site, six kilometres north of the city centre on the traditional lands of the Yorta Yorta people. For some months we have been working with Vincent Chrisp Architects to design a modern, attractive and functional campus. Stage One of the school will comprise classrooms for primary and early secondary years, specialist facilities for science, music, art, design and technology, food technology, an oval, hard courts, a canteen and covered area as well as passive recreational spaces. Site preparation will commence in a few months, with Stage One Construction underway by the end of 2022.
