COVID-19 Safety at School (Updated protocols)
RAT Screening update: From Monday 23 May 2022, MACS does not
recommend that non-symptomatic students or staff conduct RATs twice a week in mainstream schools. RAT screening is recommended if you are symptomatic or are a close contact (live with someone who currently has COVID-19), in which case students who return a negative test can attend school, but must wear a mask and return a NEGATIVE RAT screening test for 5 days.
At St James we have put a number of strategies in place to reduce the risk of transmission. No one strategy is 100% effective.
Here are just some of the ways we are doing to keep our Students, School community and Staff safe and well.
In light of current restrictions and inline with our School Covid Safety we ask that you respect and follow the following guidelines.
Reporting a Student Positive RAT / PCR Result
We have devised a Parent Step by Step guide to assist you in the event that you need to report a positive result to the school!
