COVID-19 update - 29 April 2022

/

Dear families

We hope that you have had an enjoyable and safe holiday break and look forward to welcoming all students back to site on Monday 2 May.

In readiness for this term 2 start I would like to provide further clarity regarding COVID-19 management for the beginning of term 2.

 

Face Masks

For the first 4 weeks of term 2, when indoors, face masks will continue to be:

·       required for all adults (including visitors), except when teaching or interacting with children

·       required for students in years 7 to 12

The use of face masks in education settings will be reassessed by the Emergency Management Committee and the department ahead of the start of week 5 – and I will forward you this information as soon as it is received.

Exemptions will continue to be made for students or staff who have a medical condition, such as problems with their breathing, a serious skin condition on the face, a disability, or a mental health conditions – please contact your student’s House Leader if further support or information is required.

 

Testing, isolation and quarantine requirements

In line with changes in SA Health COVID-19 guidelines please find attached the updated definitions and procedures for staff and students in a school setting.

 

Please continue to keep your children at home if they show any cold/flu symptoms and if you require further clarity or support please contact your child’s House Teacher, House Leader, or a member of our Student Services team.

 

I would like to thank all families for continuing to work with us through these ever changing regulations.

 

Regards,

Adie Conley - Principal
