What's Happening at Holy Rosary
Week 8, Term 4 2021
Last night we were informed of a positive COVID 19 case within the senior area of the school. As such, following the most recent guidelines we have asked that all children and staff in Grade 5 & 6 be tested. The most up to date advice from the Health Department is that children in these classes must be tested and may return to school when they receive a negative PCR test. All other classes are not deemed close contacts at this stage. We are very fortunate to now be in a position to remain open and have a more targeted approach to isolating and returning to school.
The emergence of a positive case reminds us all the importance of wearing masks, washing hands, using sanitiser and continuing to be conscious of the things that have reduced the risk of infection. The changes to restrictions continue to require primary school children (Grade 3-6) and staff, to wear masks and encourages the younger children to do so as well.
I ask all families to be cautious. If concerned, get tested. If unwell, stay at home. If unsure, contact the health department. Holy Rosary is and always has been a strong, supportive community. We will get over this together by working together. The identification of this case was through the diligence of parents who did not hesitate to have their child tested when they began to feel unwell. We keep all those affected in our thoughts and prayers and look forward to getting back to school as soon as possible.
LEARNING CONVERSATIONS
Our learning conversations will be moved online for ALL families this Tuesday, as a precaution and to maintain the opportunity to celebrate your child's achievements through a very challenging year.
At this stage, Friday’s conversations will still have the option of online or in person, however we will notify families if this changes.
TRANSITION
We are able to continue to hold our 2022 prep transition program and will continue to do so with all COVID safe practices in place. In addition, we will continue to keep all families up to date should this advice change.
