COVID-19 Information & Updates

The COVID-19 flowchart for feeling unwell & close contact  should be referenced for how the School manages students or staff with positive Covid cases.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases amongst students and staff, all students will receive five rat kits each tomorrow (Friday 10 February). We encourage you to practice good health and hygiene and take particular note of the School’s ‘Feeling Unwell, Stay Home FlowChart’. It is important to note that any person MUST NOT visit or enter the School premises if they identify with any of the following:

  • Have any COVID-19 symptoms
  • Are COVID-19 positive and have not recovered
  • Are awaiting a COVID-19 test result
  • Are subject to quarantine or isolation requirements

Please note that if your child exhibits cold or flu-like symptoms or is unwell, you will be asked to pick them up from school. These strategies will support the protective measures that have already been taken to support the safety and wellbeing of our staff and students.

COVID-19 Case Notification

To simplify the School’s Public Health data reporting requirements please use this new eForm  to notify The Friends’ School of a positive COVID-19 case. The relevant School office will receive a copy of this form. There is no need to call or email through student absenteeism. Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation during this time.

 

At The Friends’ School, the safety, health and welfare of our students, staff and parents remain our highest priority. We ask our school community to continue to show compassion and kindness towards those nearby as well as others in our society, while also caring for their own health. We also ask people to proactively remain connected to others in the community to provide support and care for one another.
