There was a few key announcements from the Prime Minister yesterday that you need to be aware of:
Queen Elizabeth II Memorial
There will be a public holiday on 26th September to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II
Covid-19
Following yesterdays announcement the Covid traffic light system ended last night, we wish to advise you that masks continue to be important in the fight against COVID. We still need to be aware of the Health and Safety of our staff and students but there will no longer be an expectation that masks are worn inside. Mask wearing will be a personal choice and something we continue to encourage and support.
If you test positive for COVID, you are still required to isolate for 7 days. If you are a household contact you do not need to isolate but you need to test with a RAT test each day.
Over the coming days we will look at how this will change some of the activities within school. We are very much looking forward to being able to resume important activities for us that bring Burnside together.
