COVID-19 Communication

If your child who is an enrolled student is required to isolate, please inform the College via their Head of School, including the dates of isolation, and please provide a copy of their clearance before returning to school. The College is maintaining a register of students isolating and will cross-check this with information received from the Health Department. In the event of a student being confirmed as a positive case, please immediately notify the College.

Student Wellbeing

As many parents in the Aitken Community have experienced, our children cope with the current challenges in different ways; some have thrived while others struggle to engage with their learning and grieve for social interaction. Please remember that if you are concerned for your child’s mental health and wellbeing, you should contact their Head of School.
