Information that might assist you talking to your child about COVID-19 is available.
Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or contact the school if you have any concerns.
Young children with persistent mild symptoms
Younger children (pre-school up to Grade 2) may have prolonged post-viral symptoms such as a runny nose or cough and may return to school following a negative COVID-19 test even if they are not completely free of symptoms. They will need a medical certificate from their GP to confirm they are otherwise well or have recovered from their acute illness.
Any worsening of symptoms will require review and repeat COVID-19 testing, if considered appropriate by the doctor.
Students with a negative COVID-19 test whose symptoms have completely resolved do not need a medical certificate to return to the school.
For further information for schools and to distribute to families see: Managing illness in schools and early childhood services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are concerned about your wellbeing or that of your child, please contact the school so we can talk with you about how we can best assist. Other sources of support include:
