Staying Well at School
When Students are Unwell
Thank you for keeping students at home when they are unwell. Should students be unwell at school our First Aid Policy states staff may contact parents/carers or an emergency contact person to ask them to collect the student. Our First Aid Policy can be found on our website under Parent Resources.
Current advice to schools regarding the management of Covid-19:
- The Department of Health recommends that staff and students who test positive for COVID-19 isolate for a minimum of 5 days and do not attend school until their symptoms resolve.
- As of 10 July 2023 schools are no longer required to record student cases of COVID-19 reported by parents or carers in the School COVID-19 Case Management Tool. This change is consistent with changes Department of Health made on 1 July 2023, removing the option for the community to self-report their rapid antigen test (RAT) results.
- The following link provides further information about how schools manage Covid 19 from the latest update to the School Operations Guide (25 July).
