Grease lightning Grease is the word at Keilor Downs College. Students will channel Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie as the school puts on a production of the movie Grease. The production is more than 12 months in the making, with the show postponed last year due to COVID-19. Musical director Cat Adey said the students were excited to finally be putting on the show. She said they’ve had to look outside the box with some elements of the show due to pandemic restrictions. “It’s fun and something that people know,” she said of the show. “We’ve sold most of the tickets already, with so many parts and a chorus of dancers.” Ms Adey said there are about 50 students in the show. Ms Adey said the topics covered during the production had opened up different conversations between the students. The school’s production is scheduled to be staged on July 29-31, COVID restrictions permitting. Tickets: http://ow.ly/aEFV50FuFjk Tara Murray NEZJANA, ISABELLA, NIKOLI AND ONGEGU
Lockdown waiting game By Tara Murray Victorians are bracing for the state’s fifth COVID-19 lockdown to be extended, after 13 cases were announced on Monday morning. Victorians were plunged into lockdown at 11.59pm last Thursday, following a number of positive cases across the state as a result of two virus incursions from Sydney. The health department said all of Monday’s cases are linked to known outbreaks. There were 81 active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria as of Monday, while the number of
exposure sites swelled to 278 locations across the state, prompting fears lockdown would be extended. The health department has identified four exposure sites in Brimbank. The department listed Calder Park BP outbound, McDonald’s Delahey and The Helping Hands Mission op shop in Sunshine as tier one exposure sites. Anyone who visited Calder Park BP outbound on July 11 between 11.30am and 1pm, Helping Hands Mission on July 12 between 10.30am and 12.30pm or McDonald’s
Delahey between 10pm on July 13 and 6.30am on July 14 or 11pm on July 15 and 2.30am on July 16 must get tested and isolate for 14 days. Aldi Keilor Central has been identified as a tier two site on July 14 between 5.30pm and 6.40pm. Anyone who visited the store during that time must get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result. In a statement on social media, Keilor Central said the Aldi store had been deep cleaned. “We also continue to be vigilant throughout the centre with regards to cleaning and sanitation protocols with all high touch areas
cleaned and sanitised at regular intervals,” the statement said. Meanwhile, St Albans Meadows Primary School is undergoing ongoing contract tracing after a positive case was linked to the school. A Western Public Health Unit letter, published on the school’s social media, said staff members who had direct contact with the case must get tested and isolate for 14 days. Any pupils who purchased or collected food from the school canteen at recess or lunch time, must get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result.
