“Because this lockdown was for a significant period of time, covered a large area of a major city, affected a very large number of families and occurred at a time of uncertainty about the nature of the events that were unfolding it is even more important than usual that we undertake a review of all aspects of the lockdown.
“We will be doing that review in conjunction with Police and the three Principal’s Associations and will be seeking views from parents as well. We expect the Review will help inform appropriate advice to all schools and early learning centres.”
The Review will get underway from the 2 April and will take at least a few weeks to complete.
