Protect our children & teachers. Close our schools now!

The issue

With the increasing risk to our communities, our economy and our futures from the Coronavirus the Premier of Tasmania has made some strong leadership decisions in limiting travel into our State. 

Our children need more of that leadership now.  

We are calling on the Premier of Tasmania to close all Tasmanian schools until after the Term 1 holidays. 

The latest advice from the Australian Government is to maintain a distance of four metres squared when indoors. And yet STILL we are to send to our children to school where this nature of distancing is impossible. 

With only 2 weeks left in term 1 now is the perfect time to temporarily close all schools for a period of one month.

Protect our children. Protect our state.
