COVID Level 3 restrictions in place as school resumes

12th Oct 2021

I hope you were able to enjoy a change of pace over the holiday break and take some time out with your family to refresh for Term 4.
As a reminder Guyra Central School site is still operating under COVID safe Level 3 conditions:
• Staff are required to wear masks indoors and outdoors while on school grounds.
• Masks or face coverings are recommended for primary students in indoor and outdoor settings on school grounds.
• We are reducing the overall mingling of our different cohorts which means no school assemblies or sport (outside of existing PDHPE classes), excursions or field trips.
• Only essential visitors will be allowed on site and will be required to check in and wear masks at all times.
• Our canteen will operate daily with appropriate hygiene measures in place.
• Parents and carers will need to remain outside of school grounds, follow physical distancing and avoid gathering for drop-offs and pick-ups.
• There will be enhanced daily cleaning of the school and wherever possible we will ensure classrooms will be well-ventilated with open windows.
• Breakfast Club and Homework Centre will continue to run following COVID-safe plans.
The Department of Education has worked closely with NSW Health in developing our return to school roadmap and COVID-safe school plan. NSW Health will continue to monitor vaccination rates and transmission levels in our LGA and will advise us if settings need re-evaluation.
I encourage you to get in touch with me directly and visit the Wellbeing for students and families page for support materials.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Mrs Michelle Nicholson
Principal
