Health Advice

As per the latest Qld Government COVID-19 Health Advice, the current traffic light level is ‘Amber’. Please familiarise yourself with the Amber advice via the Qld Government website https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/health-advice/traffic-light-advice. The College supports the wearing of masks when social distancing is not possible, or at any other time during the Graduation Mass, Graduation Celebration and Graduation Dinner.
