The Victorian Government has introduced restrictions for unvaccinated 12 year olds now that Victoria has reached 90% vaccination rate. 12 year olds will not be permitted to enter indoor public venues unless they are vaccinated. This does not apply for school groups attending an open premises.
"Students aged between 12 and 15 who are not fully vaccinated will be able to attend camps, excursions, graduations, and other school activities held at open premises that are also used by other schools or patrons from Tuesday 23 November. This exception to the current Directions will apply only to school-organised activities when at least one teacher is present."
To help schools understand and share important information about COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and safety, the Department of Education and Training has put together this communications toolkit. The kit provides a range of materials for students aged 12 and above, as well as final year students, and includes social media content, a poster, web banners, newsletter copy and FAQs and other informational resources to help students and parents make informed decisions about their vaccination. It also provides links to various Commonwealth and State Government information resources about the vaccination program.
