Update on COVID Protections at School
22 September 2022
Please note the below changes to our settings for protection from COVID-19 at School.
From Monday 5 September:
- Masks will be strongly encouraged for all staff, students and visitors over 12 years of age when indoors or when unable to socially distance outdoors.
- Masks are also strongly encouraged for students in the Junior School.
- Masks will continue to be mandatory on public transport.
From Friday 9 September:
People who have tested positive for COVID-19 will only need to isolate for five days instead of seven days provided they have no symptoms.
Household contacts are required to follow the NSW Health household and close contact guidelines for 5 days from the last time someone in their household tested positive to COVID-19.
In line with the updated rules for the general community, teachers and students who are household contacts, but do not have any COVID-19 symptoms, can return to school.
Attending school if a student is a household contact
To return to school, all staff and students must notify the school that they are a household contact and do the following for the next 7 school days:
- All staff and students should do a daily rapid antigen test before school. They should not attend school if they receive a positive result.
- All staff and secondary school students must wear a face mask indoors.
- Primary school students are strongly recommended to wear a face mask indoors.
Your continued support for our efforts to protect our school community while maintaining face-to-face learning is greatly appreciated.
