COVID-19 Update

Distribution of RATs to Students

The State Government are providing each student 20 RATs for them to take home and use and schools have been asked to distribute these.

As of today we will allocate these RATs to students on the days that they are going home on leave (i.e. like many are today) as we do not want these RATs to get lost in dorms nor have students self administer them without our supervision or knowledge. We have a separate supply of RATs for student use here at the College. Parents are also welcome to pickup  the allocated supply up, please let the front office know on 9635 2100. 

Students who are feeling unwell are strongly encouraged to flag this with staff so they can be monitored and tested if required.

Leaving isolation – Requirements to determine if someone is not longer symptomatic after having COVID-19

If you have any respiratory symptoms at the end of 7 complete days, you must continue to isolate until your respiratory symptoms resolve. Respiratory symptoms include: 

• a frequent cough (many times during the day)
• a sore throat
• shortness of breath
• runny nose or blocked (congested) nose

Some people with COVID-19 may have very mild respiratory or other symptoms that continue after their recovery. These include: 

• mild and infrequent cough (e.g. a mild cough that occurs only a few times per day)
• loss of taste and/or smell
• tiredness or muscle/joint pain

These symptoms do not prevent you from leaving isolation if you have isolated for 7 complete days from the date of your positive test and your other respiratory symptoms have resolved (as described above). 

If you are unsure, please consult a GP.

COVID-19 Updates

Please be advised that as of this term we will now only be providing a weekly update of the number of active COVID cases associated with the College (staff or students). This will be sent out each Friday via email.
