The school has two distinct spaces, Junior School (K to 6) and Senior School (Years 7 to 12) providing our students with the tailored environments they need to grow and develop whilst being joined by a boardwalk for easy access between the two campuses.

COVID-19 UPDATES

Tuesday 26 April 2022

As you would be aware there have been some changes to guidelines for COVID-19 household and close contact guidelines recently.

In the main, for our students who are deemed close contacts (because someone in your household tested positive) are:

Continue to email the school (COVIDstudents@lakes.nsw.edu.au) and cc the class teacher (junior school) or year advisor (senior school).
The school needs to approve your return to school (during the 7-day period after the household has tested positive) and complete a risk assessment before you can return to school as a close contact.
If you are approved to return on site, you will need to wear a mask while indoors and complete daily RAHT for 5 school days.
Close contacts may return to school without approval from the school after the 7-day isolation period has elapsed for the person who tested positive. If students have any symptoms, they are not to attend school.

There are some variations and further details to these guidelines – particularly for those who have had COVID-19 in the last 12 weeks or who have not been in contact with the person who tested positive while they were infectious.

Please follow the link to the latest update from NSW Health with all the specific details. The school is anticipating an additional delivery of RAHT’s and will advise once they are received.

If you have any questions, please email the school on admin@lakes.nsw.edu.au
