COVIDSafe Plan & Measures

Covid Information

Covid is still an ongoing concern. We ask that parents and students make themselves familiar with the recommendations outlined below that were published in the most recent MACS Covid Safe Plan.

• It is strongly recommended that any person who exhibits COVID-like symptoms conduct a RAT Test.
• It is strongly recommended that students/staff who test positive for COVID-19 should stay home and isolate for five days. 
• If still symptomatic after five days students/staff should not attend school. 
• Students/staff who are symptomatic but have not tested positive should not attend school. 
• When students become symptomatic at school, they should be collected by their parents/carers and undergo testing for COVID-19.

Masks

• Staff and students who wish to wear a face mask should be supported to do so, and schools should continue to make face masks available for staff, students and visitors. 
• It is recommended that masks be worn by a person who is a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, when leaving home. 
• It is recommended that masks should be worn by a person who has COVID-19 for 10 days after a positive test, when they need to leave home.
