Tomaree Public School and Tomaree High School were non-operational for on-campus learning, today Thursday 23 July 2020, due to a student at Tomaree Public School who tested positive to COVID-19.
The schools will remain non-operational tomorrow Friday 24 July 2020 for the on-site attendance of staff and students to allow time for both schools to be thoroughly cleaned.
Both schools will resume on-campus learning on Monday 27 July 2020. While the school sites are both non–operational, learning materials are available through the department’s Learning from Home website.
The NSW Department of Education and NSW Health have been working closely to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff is maintained. This work has included identifying close contacts of the confirmed case and communicating directly with them regarding their requirement to self-isolate.
The students and staff identified as close contacts have been notified and were asked to self-isolate for the required period and not return to school until this time has elapsed.
The school will be vigilant in implementing the department’s infection control procedures, including daily cleaning in accordance with normal protocols, the promotion of healthy hygiene habits and will make hand sanitiser available for staff and students to use while at school.
The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us at all times. As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.
Further information on COVID-19 is available from NSW Health. If you have any education-related questions please contact 1300 338 679 (1300 EDU NSW).
