Covid Update - Rapid Antigen Program

On Thursday, the Victorian Government announced that existing COVIDSafe measures in schools and early childhood settings would continue until the end of Term 1.

Rapid antigen surveillance testing will continue until the end of Term 1. We are expecting that the delivery of rapid antigen tests (RATs) for weeks five and six will start from Thursday, with additional RATs to be delivered in the coming weeks. We will notify all families once these kits arrive and are ready for pick-up.

The testing settings will remain the same, with all primary school students and staff, recommended to test at home twice a week (Tuesday & Thursday).

RATs have proved an important COVIDSafe tool to help reduce the number of COVID-19 cases and ensure our schools are as safe as possible. Their use will remain voluntary for staff and students, but is strongly encouraged.

From 6 pm on Friday 18 February, QR code check-in requirements will no longer be in place in schools.

We extend our sincere thanks to Karen in the front office for managing this program and supporting our families and staff across the community.
