Some Important Information for Families...

* We will continue to provide families with RAT for all students to complete twice weekly rapid antigen testing for all students. Staff will also be testing themselves at least twice a week. This is to continue to keep our school community safe.

* Parents and Staff are obligated to register any positive results on the Service NSW Website -  https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/register-positive-rapid-antigen-test-result 

* Parents and staff are requested to inform the school of positive test result

* No contact tracing will be required and other students and staff should continue to attend school unless they have a positive test result

* If a child has tested positive their siblings also isolate and stay home from school as they would be close household contacts - they must have a test as soon as they can and quarantine for seven days from the date of collection of the positive COVID-19 test result of the first case in a household.

* You are reminded that students cannot attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. These include fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, extreme tiredness, unexplained chest pain or conjunctivitis (eye infection). We continue to appreciate all families support in this matter.

NSW Health Advice on Quarantine/Isolation periods - 

- If a student is a close contact at home, then another family member gets COVID a few days later, their seven day quarantine period starts from the first known case and does not reset if another family member tests positive a day or two later.

- The student must have a negative test on day 6.

- There is evidence it is likely the student will get COVID. As such, parents/carers must watch extremely closely for symptoms and continue undertaking the two weekly RAT tests.
