From the Principal Desk
St Francis of Assisi continues to maintain a COVID-safe environment, with a range of health and safety measures remaining in place, including increased daily cleaning, additional hygiene measures, physical distancing requirements, and strict infection control procedures.
It is important that we continue to work together and remain vigilant in our response to this virus. The following information was sent out to parents and carers on Tuesday 18 August.
Our first commitment is always to the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and our broader school community. As parents and carers, you continue to play a vital role, in particular by:
- Keeping your children home when they are unwell, even with very mild symptoms
- Importantly, staff and students with flu-like symptoms including runny nose or cough are required to be free of symptoms and provide a medical certificate or negative COVID test which must be sighted by the school before they return to school.
- Practising social distancing during pick up and drop off
- Informing the school immediately if your child is self-isolating or undergoing testing, and informing us of the result as soon as possible
Thank you once again for your ongoing patience as we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation in our community and make adjustments to the protocols and practices in place at St Francis of Assisi. Your ongoing support has been very much appreciated in Term 3. The safety of our community remains a priority.
