Year 9 Arrangements
From Tuesday, 26 October our Year 9 students will be located at Bosco Campus to enable Year 12 exams to proceed at Mannix.

They will finish class on Tuesday at Bosco Campus and from Wednesday 27 October all classes will be at Bosco Campus. All Year 9 Mannix staff are relocating to Bosco with the boys.
Canteen
The canteen will be open. Boys are encouraged to submit a lunch order to reduce time in queues. Strict observance of Covid safe practices is required and will be monitored.
Charter Bus
The Charter Bus will resume normal operations from Friday 22 October.
COVID Safe Protocols
To mitigate the chances of COVID transmission, it is imperative that we each role model COVID safe protocols during our time on campus.
To further ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing:
• All students must wear masks inside and outside.
• Extra hand washing stations will be placed throughout the College;
• Students should bring a full water bottle each day; refilling stations will be available.
• All students will be reminded to practice physical distancing as much as is practicable during recess and lunchtime.
• Physical distancing by separating desks will continue where possible.
• The College has conducted an audit of all classrooms to ensure appropriate ventilation. Air purifiers will soon be installed in some classrooms with limited ventilation.
• We will continue with an increased level of cleaning throughout the day in all areas of the College, with a focus on areas subject to high levels of physical contact.
We look forward to a wonderful end to 2021!
