COVID ISOLATION RULES REMOVED

You will have seen that the Government has announced the removal of the mandatory COVID isolation rule, which took effect on the 15th August 2023.

The last of the COVID restrictions were removed, following public health officials advice that risk from COVID-19 is now considered low compared to other stages of the pandemic.

What does this mean for us?

As with any other illness it is recommended that students and staff stay at home if they are feeling unwell and should follow Ministry of Health guidelines in order to stop the spread of illnesses and keep others safe.

Ministry of Health Guidelines

• If you test positive for COVID-19, it is recommended you isolate for at least 5 days, even if you only have mild symptoms, starting at Day 0. This includes if you have had COVID-19 before.
• Isolation means not going to work or school.
• Household contacts do not need to isolate, but it is recommended that they do a RAT each day for 5 days.

CUP CAKE FUNDRAISER

Thank you to everyone who supported our Cup Cake Sale today.  We had some amazing cup cakes made by our Koru Syndicate parents. We were able to raise $1075 to go towards our end of year camp.
