Coronavirus Update 19.03.2020

As a community, we are facing an unprecedented challenge with the spread of COVID-19, also known as novel coronavirus. In light of the potential risks to students, volunteers and tutors at the Centre, we have taken the decision to cancel all active programs and temporarily close the Centre to the public, effective from tomorrow 6 pm Friday 20th March 2020 until further notice.

As we have contracts with our tutors to provide classes for the entire term, we will be honouring those contracts and remunerating tutors for the remaining last weeks of term, even though we are closed. We will thus continue to work with tutors to determine the best options regarding rescheduling classes into the future, with online class options where possible, and other alternative possibilities.

As you can imagine, we are experiencing a significant volume of enquiries at the Centre, which is unfortunately impacting our ability to respond to individual enquiries in our usual timely manner. We kindly ask for your patience during this challenging time and recommend that you refer to our website www.splc.org.au and Facebook page for updates in the first instance. We promise to respond to all enquiries as soon as we possibly can, and will continue to provide updates as and when new information becomes available.

Your health and safety is of utmost importance to us, we apologise for any inconvenience, and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time.
