The COVID Guidelines have been updated for Term Two and were sent to you.
Close Contacts
Students who are household contacts and have NO symptoms may continue to attend school if they:
• Notify the College that they are coming to College under the Household Contact provision. This notification can be done via the College App or using this link.
• Complete a daily RAT test and return a negative result each morning before attending College for 5 school days
• Wear a mask indoors (Years 7-12) except when eating or exercising. Junior Students are recommended to wear a mask indoors also.
• Student identified as a close contact will not be permitted to participate in overnight camps, including Duke of Ed Hikes.
NSW Health advice is that if a person has had confirmed COVID in the last 12 weeks, they do not need to comply with these Close Contact Guidelines if they become household/close contact within the 12 week period and remain symptom free.
Positive Cases
Students who return a positive COVID test result at anytime during the Term should:
• Record the positive RAT result through the Service NSW
• Notify the College via the College App or using this link.
• Remain isolated for seven days as per the advice received from NSW Health
• Wear a mask indoors for a further 3 days (days 8-10) if in Years 7-12 except when eating or exercising. Junior Students are also encouraged to wear a mask for a further 3 days. This is a NEW requirement by NSW Health.
Rapid Antigen Testing Kits
The College has been advised that Rapid Antigen Test kits will provided in the coming weeks to schools to distribute to families for use as surveillance or when a household contact. We do not have an arrival time for these kits and will notify you as soon as we receive them.
Mask Wearing
In addition to wearing a mask if you are a close contact or a returning student from a positive case for days 8-10, masks are required for all students over 12 years old when catching public transport. Please ensure you send your child with a mask for this purpose (which includes sport buses).
Should you have any questions regarding the COVID Guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact the College Office on 9608 0033 or [email protected].
