Please read the following updates for Term 2, 2022.
Close Contacts
Students who are close contacts (household contacts) of positive Covid-19 cases are no longer required to isolate at home for 7 days. Students who are close contacts must now:
- Notify the school if they are intending to return under this provision
- Conduct a daily RAT and return a negative result each morning before attending school for 5 school days
No student identified as a close contact will be permitted to participate in overnight excursions, including school camps.
Any visitor to the school who is a close contact is required to advise the school that they are a close contact before they come on site. These visitors should conduct a daily RAT and return a negative result before attending. They must also wear a mask indoors.
Symptoms
Students cannot attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19, they should stay at home and undertake a RAT. All students and staff will receive 1 multipack of RAT kits within the first three weeks of Term 2. The RAT kits can be used for symptomatic testing or for daily testing as part of the close contact requirements.
Positive Results
If a student or staff member receives a positive RAT test, they need to:
- Record the positive RAT result through the Service NSW website or Service NSW app - please add details of your child's school when prompted
- Notify the school of the positive RAT or PCR test result as soon as possible
- Follow NSW Health advice and isolate for 7 days
All other restrictions remain unchanged.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation – working together will ensure the safety of all.
