COVID-19 update
Important messages – St John's Footscray
COVID updates/re-sharing latest information:
- Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) - We are expecting another delivery of RAT kits this week. We endeavour to send home the next fortnight's testing kits on Monday with every child. If your child is absent on Monday, educators will record their name on a kit and send it home with them on their return.
- Outside shade sails - We have had two companies provide quotes for the construction of shade sails in Joan's Yard and awaiting on a third. We have also asked these companies to provide quotes for the installation of shade sails over the climbing equipment in the backyard so that children have more shaded play spaces in this area. We are hopeful that these works can begin soon.
- Assemblies / Liturgies - These can still go ahead outdoors as per our guidelines. All visitors are asked to socially distance.
- Bubbles / cohort mixing - We will continue our yard bubbles and indoor learning kept to Hubs only. Educators are taking children / groups outside as much as possible (weather permitting) to keep ventilation high. At this stage, we will only gather as a whole school outside.
- Before school play - ALL children will be required to go straight inside when they arrive at school. This is to limit the mixing between the bubbles of P-2 and 3-6 children.
If you have any further questions about St. John's COVID management, please call/email School Office or Emily. Thank you for your support.
