Important Information This Week
CORONAVIRUS UPDATES
We have had a sharp increase in the number of students and staff contracting Covid-19 this week. Could all families please do their best to RAT test twice weekly, and in an effort to keep all in our community safe by following the procedures below.
- If your child presents at home with any cold or flu like symptoms please keep them at home and RAT test them, sending them back to school when all symptoms have gone.
- If your child presents at school with cold or flu like symptoms parents will be contacted and the expectation is that you come and collect your child, RAT test them and return them once all symptoms have gone.
- Students in Grades 3-6 should, where possible, wear a mask whilst indoor and unable to comfortably social distance, with the exception where an exemption applies.
