Dear ACE students, families and carers,
The Department of Education has informed all schools that to increase physical distancing across the population and slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), children in Victorian schools should move to remote and flexible learning and care at the commencement of Term 2. Here is the quote from the Victorian Government.
"As we act to slow the spread of coronavirus, the message to students and parents of government schools is clear: all children who can learn at home must learn from home – with exceptions only in extremely limited circumstances."
Importantly, it states, all students will be learning from home, except for students who are not able to be supervised at home and that no other arrangements can be made. While teachers will be available at school, with some working from home, there will be minimal staff on site during this remote and flexible learning period.
All students will be participating in learning that involves utilising a mixture of online and offline learning tools. If there are absolutely no alternative options available to you and you need your child to attend school, the school will be running the following classes for those who may need to attend as per the government guidelines (numbers will be strictly limited).
Certificate IV in Liberal Arts
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 am – 12:00am
Year 12
Thursday from 9:00am – 3:00pm
Years 7 & 8
Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 3:00pm
Years 9 -11
Monday to Friday, working from home using Google Scholar, Zoom and phone calls with teaching staff. Please call on the 14th of April for further information regarding these year levels.
Diploma of Community Services will not be on site but will be a mixture of online and distance learning via a mixture of phone calls, Zoom meetings and Google Scholar. Appointments can be made for one on one meetings to go over your work on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday between 9:00am and 12:00pm.
For those who will be attending school, the following applies AT ALL TIMES.
- Your temperature will be taken at the front door before you enter ACE and if there is the indication of a fever you will be sent home and asked to see your doctor immediately.
- You will not be able to return to school until all cleared by a medical professional.
- Hand washing stations will be set up at each classroom, the entrance of the school, computer labs, kitchen and bathrooms and you will need to use these stations as directed at all times.
- Social distancing will also be upheld at all times on breaks and in the classrooms.
This is going to be a challenging period of learning for all involved. The staff have worked really hard to prepare for this situation and there are education packages developed ready for use at home. We are committed to ensuring learning continuity remains and we want to thank you for the support you have provided during this very difficult time.
On Tuesday the 14th of April, teaching staff will contact each and every family by phone to discuss these new arrangements and to answer any questions you may have, including how classwork will be provided in hard copy, how to access Google Scholar and Zoom and for any other questions you may have.
Welfare staff will be contactable 5 days a week during office hours, and a mobile phone number for this purpose will be posted on 14th of April.
It is vital for our planning for next week that we are aware of anyone who may need to attend school. If there are absolutely no alternative options available to you and you need your child to attend school, please make contact using one of the methods below.
- Please email admin staff at: ijace@iinet.net.au
- Or call the office anytime between 9:00am and 3:00pm on Tuesday the 14th of April.
Stay safe and look out for each other.

"When I applied to go to ACE I thought it looked like an ordinary adult college. Oh, how I was wrong! This year has been full of surprises. All the new friendships I have made with memories as well. I believe ACE has made me a better person and changed my life forever."
