Updated Covid Procedure
You may be aware of an increased number of positive cases of COVID-19 in the broader community.
Please be reminded that students and staff CANNOT attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. These include fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, extreme tiredness, unexplained chest pain or conjunctivitis (eye infection).
It is no longer a requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19, however, if your child is unwell, displaying any COVID-19 or cold and flu-like symptoms at any time, your child CANNOT attend school and should undertake a rapid antigen test.
If the rapid antigen test is positive and your child is unwell and/or experiencing any symptoms, your child CANNOT attend school.
If the rapid antigen test is positive and your child is not feeling unwell and not displaying or experiencing any symptoms, your child CAN attend school under the following conditions:
● the Office is informed of the positive test result, AND
● your child (over 12 years old) wears a mask for a period of 7 days in all indoor settings.
The best place for our students to learn is in the classroom but the safety and wellbeing of students and staff is our number one priority. We will continue to monitor the situation and advise when it is safe for all our students and staff to return to our classrooms. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your ongoing support.
