Dear Parents/Guardians,
I’m writing to let you know that people with COVID-19 were on our school site while infectious:
Clyde North Campus
0 Cases
Cranbourne Campus
0 Cases
“For reasons of privacy we are not privy to sharing the year level or names of students who are not attending school as a result of receiving a positive COVID case, COVID close contacts or any other illness. The health advice is that schools no longer undertake contact tracing and instead we are instructed to share the number of cases each day. To invite students to complete a RAT test twice a week and to remain at home should they have any symptoms of illness”
What you need to know
If your child is not experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, they can continue to attend school, but you should monitor for symptoms.
Students who show symptoms of COVID-19 cannot attend school and should get tested immediately and isolate until they receive a negative result.
Students should continue with twice-a-week rapid antigen testing on school days. We advice testing to occur on Monday and Thursday morning.
Students who have recovered from COVID-19 do not need to participate in surveillance testing for 30 days after their isolation period has ended.
For information on symptoms visit: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/symptoms- and-risks.
For more information on how to get tested visit: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/taking-test-covid-19.
If your child returns a positive result, your child has COVID-19. You must:
- Quarantine your child for seven days
- Advise the school about the positive result
- Your child must stay home until their symptoms have resolved and they are well
- Everyone in your household is a close contact and must isolate for 7
Reporting your child’s positive test
If your child was at school when they were infectious you need to report the positive case and notify the school via email to [email protected] if your child attends the Cranbourne campus or [email protected] if your child attends the Clyde North Campus.
