We will get some communication out later this week about the return to school. Most of the details have been in the media already.
Covid Case 2C

St Mary's has been notified that a student has tested positive for COVID-19.
The student was onsite on 13th (Mon) 14th (Tues) 15th (Weds) and 16th (Thurs) in 2C and it is likely they were infectious during this period. We have two students positive in 2C, however only one falls into the infectious period when they were showing symptoms, which is 48 hours before their first symptom.
If your child is in this class it is likely they will be identified as a Primary Close Contact.
Your child will need toremain in isolationand betested for COVID-19at your earliest convenience. The test should be a PCR test, not rapid antigen.
If your child is not in the above-mentioned class, there is no cause for alarm, and it is safe for your child to be onsite. We are in communication with the family to establish if the student was with any other students for long periods of time.
Please continue to monitor your child’s health, and if they have any symptoms such as
Most common symptoms:

loss of taste or smell
Less common symptoms:
