COVID-19 Procedures - Information for all Families

Whilst there is no confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 at the College, we are mindful of the highly infectious nature of the virus and that there is potential for school closure in the future. We include the following to remind you of the processes and procedures in place at the College.

Procedures for Minimising the Spread of COVID-19

Please take the time to talk to your students about keeping themselves safe by:

Using appropriate hygiene: handwashing, sneeze and cough etiquette
Physical distancing
Not sharing food or food serving equipment
Be aware of symptoms of COVID-19; fever, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, unexplained loss of smell or altered sense of taste
Students should stay home if unwell. If at school, students should report to Student Services who will send home for referral to a doctor.

Procedures in the Event of a Confirmed Case of COVID-19 and School Closure

If SA Health advise the College to close immediately, in the first instance the College will close for up to 2-3 days while a thorough deep clean is conducted. In this situation:

Parents and Caregivers will be notified of the closure by email and where possible by SMS
Students will be required to vacate the premises immediately
All students will be asked to follow the action plan you as a family have discussed to ensure their safe travel home. If your family does not have a plan, teachers will direct your child to the Endeavour Centre where they will be supervised until arrangements can be made, in consultation with you, for their safe dismissal from the College grounds.

Please be reminded that:

Students should travel directly home or to a relative’s house, reduce interaction with other people and not gather in public places such as shops and food outlets
Students should be picked up or make their way home as promptly as possible and ideally within an hour
If the closure is called at the end of the day, private buses would run as normal.
Private bus runs would not be running in the event of early closure.
Students should self-isolate under the direction of SA Health.

During this initial closure, no students or staff will be allowed on site and no learning programs will occur. Should the College be requested to close for a further length of time, the College’s Flexible Learning Program will be enacted.

Should you have any questions about these processes and how they relate to you and your family, please do not hesitate to contact the College via phone 8368 3311 or email admin@endeavour.sa.edu.au.

Thank you for your care and attention.
