COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Keeping Students and Staff Safe During this Term we had a brief return to School. Our amazing staff helped keep our students safe while at school through temperature checks and regular COVID-19 testing available to students and staff. We were grateful that Prep students were able to celebrate their first 100 days at school in the classroom.
Our amazing staff helped keep our students safe while at school Staff Member Julian Visser in the News As well as appearing on Channel 9 News, staff member Julian Visser, was featured in a Herald Sun article Face to Face with Real Innovation in mid-July discussing his face-shield initiative. He discussed his idea to make face shields to protect frontline medical workers at Melbourne hospitals from COVID-19, using our school 3D printers. Mr Visser has now founded the Boye Medical Group which
was commissioned by the Government to produce 35,000 masks by the end of July. “It went from one shield to many thousands. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of the school… It’s a great example of innovative design. For students, I hope this can be a real-world example of going from an idea to full production in a short period of time.”
