It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel all remaining Seven Steps Workshops for the rest of Term 1. The situation surrounding COVID-19/Coronavirus is evolving daily and we feel now is the time to act to ensure that we are doing our utmost to help protect the health and safety of our teachers, presenters and the wider Australian community.
While there have been no cases of COVID-19 from our training attendees or staff, it’s important that our communities remain as safe as possible. We are therefore being proactive and following the recommendations from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other health professionals. We will continue to closely monitor the situation to ensure we’re following the latest advice from WHO, the Department of Health and other relevant regulatory bodies.
We apologise to those who have booked in, but want you to know that we will reschedule all cancelled events as soon as things have settled down.
We’re so excited to help you get started transforming student writing, but first and foremost, let’s look after our health and our community!
I’ve already booked a Workshop in Term 1
As of 17 March, we have cancelled all eight remaining Seven Steps Workshops. We apologise to the eager teachers and educators who were looking forward to attending – we were excited to see you too! As soon as things settle down, we will reschedule and will be back in touch to lock in the new date with you.
Lou, our Office Administrator (office@sevenstepswriting.com), has already emailed you with your options:
1) Hold onto your spot for when it’s rescheduled later this year
2) Ask for a refund – you want to rebook later in the year.
I’ve booked a School PD for Term 1, or I want to!
If you have already booked a School PD, our Events Manager Jade Waters (jade@sevenstepswriting.com) will have already contacted you to confirm your booking and/or to reschedule.
That means we are not taking any bookings for Term 1, but we will pencil in dates for future terms!
I’ve booked into or am considering a Term 2 or 3 Workshop or PD
At this stage, Workshops for the rest of the year will be running as planned. However, we acknowledge the situation is rapidly changing and can’t guarantee what will happen next. If you book in and we need to cancel, you can feel assured that we will always offer to move your booking or offer a refund.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Jade on 03 9521 8439 if you would like to book in a PD for after Term 1 this year. She would love to help and can help you pick a date.
