As a precaution, please ensure that your child limits their movement today if they attended on site on Monday 11 to Wednesday 13 October.

If we do not contact you tomorrow to say your child has been identified as a close contact, your child should return to school on Tuesday 19 October, 2021.

If we inform you that your child has been identified as a primary close contact, please ensure that you child limits their movement until you are contacted by the Department of Health directly.
