Im the other side of Oz but my heart breaks for Victorians, their puppet master is more psycho than ours!
They all will pay dearly for this, no question. Hard to live through it.
While we havent been as affected as others (living rural) our eldest missed out on so much in her last 2 years at school, so many major events cancelled because of the flu, it is ridiculous.
I had a couple of kiddos working for me that were like sons... I told them to start having a prom each year starting on the 7th yr (after graduation) each year having one of the milestones. And then for 10yr reunion have Senior Prom and Graduation.
That is a great idea! My daughters Ball was the one event that fell in between lockdowns so went ahead - though strictly students only. It was the camps, week in the city and other activities that were all cancelled.
