COVID-19 Update
With the return of school this week we begin to report on daily cases detected in students and staff who have attended campus during their contagious period (up to two days prior to the onset of symptoms).
Our staff will maintain the privacy of any child who tests positive, so please respect that they can not discuss private information with other families. The College does not identify if particular cases are in a VIC or VAL class, as all cohorts spend time together learning inside, eating and playing outside, as well as for privacy reasons. Specifying VIC or VAL could detrimentally reduce the awareness of the other class.
Given the current outbreak it is to be expected that cases will occur from time to time, and the staff at the College are following all guidelines to create the safest environment possible. As always, please monitor your child for any signs of the following and perform a PCR or RAT. If they have any of these symptoms, do not send them to school:
- fever
- coughing
- sore throat
- shortness of breath.
Other symptoms may sometimes include:
- runny nose or congestion
- headache or fatigue
- muscle or joint pains
- nausea or loss of appetite
- diarrhoea or vomiting
- temporary loss of smell or altered sense of taste.
If you or anyone in your family tests positive please report this to us so we can record this information. Under the current Health Directive we must keep a record of any students who test positive or are isolating as a close contact.
