COVID Update

As we end Term 2, many members of our community are experiencing their 2nd round of COVID infections.  Please know that our thoughts are with you.  

 

If your Curiosity child is considered a 'close contact' due to a family member being positive, you must follow the SA Health guidelines which includes RAT testing your child in order for them to attend.  If you do not wish to follow this guideline then your child must remain at home til the isolation period is complete.

 

We are pleased to share that the Government just released information regarding waiving gap fees for families when a child is either COVID positive or considered a close contact.  'Allowable Absences' have also been extended to 52 days and will be reset on July 1, 2022.  This means that your account will be charged in your child's absence of a session (Morning/Educational/Afternoon) and the CCS will still be applied.

 

We welcome this news as we know that it supports family in making the decision to keep their child home in order to reduce the risk of community transmission.
