RATs are ready!

Dear parents and carers

I am writing to let you know that free RATs for each student have now been delivered to the school.

These free RATs will support our students to continue to attend school for face-to-face learning and will minimise disruption to their schooling. You will be able to test your child at home if they are feeling unwell. You can also use these RATs if your child is a close contact to enable them to test daily and continue to attend school, as long as they receive a negative result, remain asymptomatic, and wear a mask if they are in Year 7 and above. I attach a letter from WA Health which explains how to use the RATs.

Students will sign for and receive their RATs during Advocacy on Tuesday 24 May.

If your child becomes symptomatic they should stay home and be tested for COVID-19. You should notify the school if your child tests positive for COVID-19. Refer to healthywa.wa.gov.au for information on close contact definition, testing and isolation requirements.

Thank you for your continued efforts in keeping our school COVID-19 safe.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the College on 08 6235 7200.

Yours sincerely

Dr Karen Read
