Covid 19 Update

As of 14 October 2022 it is no longer mandatory to self-isolate if someone tests positive for COVID-19, but it is recommended to stay home and take steps to protect others.

Students, staff and visitors should only attend school when they are symptom-free. We will continue to send home students or staff displaying symptoms and follow COVID-smart measures to help reduce the risk of transmission. 

If staff or students test positive for COVID -19, they are to stay home until their symptoms have gone. This includes: 

• fever
• coughing
• sore throat
• shortness of breath
• runny nose or congestion
• headache or fatigue
• muscle or joint pains
• nausea or loss of appetite
• diarrhoea or vomiting
• temporary loss of smell or altered sense of taste

Due to the higher risk associated with some school settings and activities, the 7-day isolation period will remain for staff, students and visitors who have tested positive to COVID-19 and work at or attend:

• specialist centres
• support units
• assisted transport

NSW Health has put together two facts sheets to understand what to do after being exposed to COVID-19 and what to do after testing positive for COVID-19 and managing COVID-19 at home.
