From the Head of Senior School

Mr Trent Chapman

Rugby – Home game against St Stanislaus' College

This weekend we host 'Stannies' for our annual local derby fixture. Whilst the weather forecast is not great, we look forward to a tough and enjoyable round of competition in all age groups.

Students are reminded that they must be in correct uniform during the day when on school grounds.

The stands on the western side of the main oval are reserved for KWS supporters. Signs will be posted on the stands showing areas reserved for KWS students only, and other areas for KWS families, ex-students, and supporters. So that the day runs as smoothly as possible, please ensure that you observe these seating requirements.

COVID-19 monitoring – Reminders for staff and families

A reminder that staff and students cannot attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. If symptoms occur at any time, students should not attend school and should undertake a rapid antigen test (RAT).

If there is a positive case in your child’s class, year or other grouping, your child can continue to attend school in line with NSW Health advice.

If a student or staff member receives a positive RAT test, they need to:

record the positive RAT result through the Service NSW website (External link) or Service NSW app (External link) – please add the School's details when prompted
notify the school of the positive RAT or PCR test result as soon as possible
follow NSW Health adviceExternal link to isolate for 7 days.

Registering your child’s positive RAT with Service NSW is a requirement of the Public Health Order and helps NSW Health track COVID-19 in schools and address any public health issues early on if required.

Negative results do not need to be reported to Service NSW or to the school.

For more information, including COVID-19 guidelines and fact sheets, refer to People who tested positive or were exposed to COVID-19 (External link).

Students who become close household contacts must have details registered with the school. These students will need to wear a mask at school and conduct a RAT each morning before school for five days. Families can access the online form below to register close contact information.

The school's current COVID protections are outlined in detail HERE.
