Term 4 2022 COVID-safe Information

Masks

Masks are not required to be worn outdoors but can be worn when physical distancing is not possible. This expectation should not constrain student participation in the full range of school activities, including music, sport, and performances.

Our school will not sanction students or staff who do not meet this expectation, but we seek your support for this collective effort.

 
If your child returns a positive result

• Quarantine your child for five days
• Advise the school about the positive result – via the RA Test Portal or by calling us on 0398763289
• Notify the Department of Health of a positive Rapid Antigen Test result via this link.
• Your child must stay home until their symptoms have resolved and they are well
• Students who are household contacts are not required to isolate but they must complete a Rapid Antigen Test 5 times during the 7 day period and must wear a mask at school if aged 8 years or older
