Coronavirus Australia live news: More students returning to school, Brits confused by latest messaging - ABC News

NSW schools back today

             

Morning all and thanks for that intro Dan.

                 

                       

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said it was a "huge relief" to have face-to-face teaching back in the state.

            

"On average, students will go back for one day a week this week and next week."

          

For Year 12 students though, they will be back in for longer - on average.

           

"I am pleased to say, as far as Year 12 is concerned, on average in our public schools, Year 12 will be going back between three and four days this week."

             

She said that number will increase in the coming weeks, with a return to full-time face-to-face learning by the end of May.

           

She also said that the department of education had sourced medical supplies to ensure all schools can act within the health advice "to keep teachers and students safe."

         

Ms Berejiklian said that not every school will be the same based on their different sizes.

         

"That degree of flexibility ensures schools can move forward in whatever way they see fit, within the Department of Education guidelines."

      

The Premier finished by thanking teachers and students for their patience. 

          

"I want to thank all of our teachers and principals," Ms Berejiklian said.

                

"More importantly, I want to thank the parents and students who have had to adjust to life like they have never experienced before.

                 

"Hopefully today, we will bring a sense of relief and a sense to the community that we're moving forward in a positive way."
