COVID-19

Students and staff should continue to stay home when sick

Students, staff and visitors should only attend school when symptom free. We strongly encourage all students, staff and visitors to follow the guidance issued by NSW Health. Schools must continue to send home students or staff displaying symptoms.

For anyone who believes they have been exposed to COVID-19, it is strongly recommended that they monitor for symptoms and test if they have any concerns, as well as wear a mask.

Please be aware that staff and students cannot attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. These include fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, fatigue, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, extreme tiredness, unexplained chest pain or conjunctivitis (eye infection).

If a student receives a positive RAT or PCR test, they should record the positive result through the  Service NSW website or  Service NSW app and notify the school of the positive RAT or PCR test result as soon as possible. Negative results do not need to be reported to Service NSW or to the school.

Since the start of this term, 3 student cases and 3 staff cases have been reported, with the majority of these reported last week.
