Earlier in the year I placed some information regarding the latest COVID-19 updates courtesy of New South Wales Health and the Catholic Education Office Diocese of Wollongong. The latest data courtesy of New South Wales Health saw almost 13,000 cases of Covid detected by RAT or PCR tests in the week ending on May 11th. As such, along with the Cold and Flu season, we need to be conscious of the need to continue to adopt measures that were in place during the height of the pandemic to minimise the risk of transmission of Covid, Colds and Flus. Should your son or daughter display signs or symptoms, the following advice is in place from NSW Health and CEDoW:

Students and staff who are unwell with any cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms (whether they have tested positive or not) should not attend school until their symptoms are gone. They do not need to present a negative test to the school before returning.

The College also still has a small supply of Rapid Antigen Test kits available for those students or families who may require them. Please contact the Front Office should you wish to collect a kit for home use.

All the best for the week ahead.

Mr Simon Huntly
