COVID UPDATE
From Friday 9 September, public health measures have eased. The isolation period for COVID-19 positive cases and close contacts has reduced from 7 days to 5 days, provided they are free of symptoms at the time they leave isolation. Mask requirements for public and passenger transport have also changed.
People who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate for a minimum of 5 days and can leave isolation if they no longer have symptoms. People who are still symptomatic must remain in isolation until symptoms clear.
Close contacts with no symptoms can continue to attend school and do not have to isolate for the 5 days if they:
- undertake a daily Rapid Antigen Test (RAT)
- wear a mask outside the home (Year 7 and above)
Testing for COVID-19 for students who are symptomatic or as a close contact, is considered an effective way to limit the spread of COVID-19 in schools. If you need additional RATs, please contact us.
Please let the school know if your child tests positive for COVID-19 or is a close contact.
Please contact Reception if you have any queries about COVID-19 safe measures in our school. Thank you for your continued support.
