COVID School Safety Plan
From the beginning of the school year on Thursday 3rd February, 91 students and 16 staff have had to be involved in isolation due to being tested positive or being close contacts, which is approximately 48% of these populations. Although positive test cases are falling, we are likely to continue to experience challenges to supporting ‘usual’ learning and teaching for a few more weeks – thank you to parents, students and all staff for their continued support, especially teachers for their provision of Seesaw activities and regular feedback to students L@H.
Visiting School
- It is important that the number of visitors to our schools at this time are minimised. If you do visit, you must wear a mask when indoors. You must also follow your school’s check in and sign in procedures.
Student Attendance
- Your child is expected to attend school if they are well and symptom free.
- If your child has a medical condition that limits them attending school, we will talk to you about your child’s educational needs
Online Learning
- Online learning will only be provided for students who are required to isolate because of a positive COVID test, have been directed to isolate by Public Health or have been deemed a household close contact.
Symptom Management
- All students, staff and visitors must not attend or visit school sites if they are unwell, if they have symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been directed to isolate by Public Health. The most important action you can take is that if your child is unwell, you should keep them home and ensure they get tested.
- Even if they test negative, it is important for your child to stay at home if they are unwell or have any symptoms.
- Please do not attend school if you are displaying cold or flu-like symptoms; stay home and phone your GP or the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738.
- If a student displays any cold or flu-like symptoms at school, they will be required to return home. Should a staff member display symptoms they will be directed to return home as soon as possible.
