COVID-19 update Bowen Public School non-operational extended

COVID-19 Banner

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for your patience during this time while we work with NSW Health.

I would like to provide you with a further update to my communications yesterday.

As you are aware, our school was made non-operational due members of our school community testing positive for COVID-19.

Our school will remain non-operational for tomorrow,  Friday 19 November 2021 for the on-site attendance of staff and students to allow time for the completion of the contact tracing process and for cleaning to be completed.

NSW Health has requested anyone who has been unwell or if you develop any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness to be tested at one of the COVID-19 testing clinics.

Further information about COVID-19 is available on the NSW Government website.

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. 

While we recognise this will be disruptive and inconvenient for families, it is important that we follow NSW Health advice and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of further transmission to support our community.

During this time, learning from home resources will be available from the learning from home hub.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
