Return To School For Everyone '20

Use of woodwind and brass instruments, singing, voice projection and dance

Use of woodwind instruments and singing and voice projection does entail risk of potential spread of aerosols and droplets. As such only individual tuition and small ensemble groups (10 or less participants) can be conducted and should occur outdoors, with physical distancing and other hygiene measures where possible.

In preparation for essential assessments these activities should be undertaken outside, with physical distancing and other hygiene measures where possible.

Please see the VCAA’s performance and oral language examination guide for further health and safety information in the context of essential assessments.

Drama activities and dance groupwork should also be undertaken outside where safe and viable.  

Note that children are able to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to classmates, including in classrooms, given its short duration.  This is an appropriate way to mark a significant milestone for children.
