You will have seen on the news over the weekend that in response to the Omicron variant there have been a number of changes to COVID measures. I would like to confirm the implications of these changes for our school. For your information, we currently have 5 positive cases in school.

Where a family member has tested positive for COVID we advise that all household members should arrange a PCR test and undertake a daily LFD test. This is so that any subsequent positive cases can be quickly picked up and for self isolation to begin as soon as possible. We will continue to distribute test kits as needed.

All contacts of suspected Omicron cases will be required to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of a person’s vaccination status. This may once again have serious implications for students’ attendance in school which is why the above measures are critical to maintain the best attendance of staff and students possible.
