New Guidance for Face Masks

Following the Government’s announcements regarding new state-wide restrictions, there is new guidance for schools regarding the wearing of masks. People aged 12 and over must wear a fitted face mask when in public indoor spaces unless there is a lawful reason not to. 

Students aged 12 or older must wear a face mask indoors when at school, unless they are attending a primary school, an Outside School Hours Care (OHSC) program or an exception applies. 

Children under 12 years of age and students at primary school or attending an OHSC program are not required to wear face masks.

School staff are not required to wear face masks while teaching or caring, but those who wish to do so, can. Staff must wear face masks in indoor areas of the school when not teaching or caring. 

Visitors to school sites must also wear masks when indoors. Please ensure anyone on your school site is aware of the updated face mask requirements. 

Due to the late, unexpected and sudden notice we will aim to be compliant with the new restrictions from Monday. 

Further advice regarding these measures will be provided when available.
