MLTAV COVID-19 Response
IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO MEMBERS
First and foremost we hope you, your family, your friends, your school and wider community
are well and safe in this unprecedented time of rapid change and uncertainty.
Dear Members,
On behalf of the MLTAV Committee, I applaud our members’ strength and courage in working with schools and wider communities to ensure continuity of student education amidst the current uncertainty and global COVID-19 crisis.
It is imperative that we prioritise the physical and mental health and well- being of ourselves, each other, our families, friends, students, school and wider community. We must work together through the current State of Emergency in Victoria to combat the spread of COVID-19 to come out stronger on the other side.
The MLTAV acknowledges that it has become critical to respond thoughtfully as to how we move forward with plans and strategies.
As a professional association, with a purpose of supporting teachers and learning of Languages throughout Victoria, we are strategising ways to continue to support our members in this rapidly changing and unpredictable climate. Online teacher resources will be crucial in this process and to that end we encourage you to consider the Languages resources currently available via the Department’s FUSE website.
MLTAV 2020 Annual Conference - Notice of POSTPONEMENT!
The MLTAV is adhering to the the Government mandate relating to crowd- control and social distancing in response to the current COVID-19 crisis. Consequently, not knowing how long these restrictions will be in place for, the MLTAV has made the difficult, but sensible and necessary decision to postpone its 2020 Conference from Friday 15 May to a date to be confirmed. We will continue to stay in regular communication with our members via our newsletters.
Andrew Morabito, President, MLTAV
