23 May 2023 Identified COVID-19 cases at Glenmore Park High School- school to stay operational
Dear community members Glenmore Park High School has been advised that: members of the school community have recently tested positive to COVID-19.
Students at Glenmore Park High School and staff may have had contact with a person who was infectious with COVID-19.
While testing and isolation is no longer mandatory for being exposed to someone with COVID-19 in school settings, NSW Health has provided advice on testing and isolation requirements for our school communities following exposure to COVID-19 that should be considered when making decisions for your child and family if this situation arises at your school. You are reminded that students and staff cannot attend school if they are showing any symptoms of COVID-19. These include fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, extreme tiredness, unexplained chest pain or conjunctivitis (eye infection).
If symptoms occur at any time, your child should not attend school and should undertake a rapid antigen test. If the rapid antigen test is positive, your child should isolate as someone who has tested positive to COVID19.
You are encouraged to register any positive test on the Service NSW website or Service NSW app so that you can be linked to important health care support and advice. Parents and carers are reminded to please ensure that you select your school name when prompted when registering a positive test for your child.
The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff across NSW are always paramount. As such, we will continue to ensure that all necessary health advice is closely followed.
Thank you for your support.
