The recent spike in the number of COVID-19 cases in Victoria is of concern.
 
As well as the danger from infection, we now have a number of restrictions that have been tightened and the longer impact on our economy and financial well being is in danger.
 
Please do all that you can to limit the exposure of your friends and families to this horrible disease.
 
Hopefully, things will settle down over the next few weeks and we can return to Toorak College for our regular dinner meetings.

"Our partners in Bali have been finding innovative ways for children to stay safe, connected and spreading awareness about COVID-19.

 


As part of safety lockdowns to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia, the Bali provincial government recommended all school children study at home.

With children isolated in their houses, a drawing competition was held to keep students connected and help promote social distancing, handwashing and awareness about COVID-19. Entrants were primary and junior high school-age children who lived in communities connected to our partner church GKPB and community development projects.

61 children enthusiastically entered the competition and came up with some great creations!

Kadek, a junior high school student won first place in the competition with the cartoon above.

The theme of his cartoon is keeping a safe distance and using a mask to prevent transmission of the virus.
