COVID-19 PLAN
05 Aug 2020
Dear Families
Re: COVID-19 PLAN
You may have heard by now of the well-publicised cases of COVID-19 identified in the South Brisbane/ Logan areas and the impact that this has had on the local community. A number of schools have been closed for deep cleaning.
The purpose of this letter is to assure you that we have a plan, should we receive notification of a confirmed case of COVID-19. At present, we do not have any confirmed cases of COVID-19 and no Catholic schools have been impacted.
However, should we receive notification of a confirmed case of COVID- 19, the following procedures are in plan to take place:
Communication
Parents will be informed via the Schoolzine app, email, Facebook (OLOL Memos), website and text message that they are to collect their child(ren) from the school pick up zone. Students will be informed by their teachers to move to their designated pick up zones.
Collection Zones
|
Preps with no siblings |
Church Stop Drop & Go |
|
Years 1-3 and younger siblings |
Ascot St Stop Drop & Go |
|
Years 4-6 and their siblings |
Goodwood St carpark - Enter carpark Hill St end Exit carpark Ascot St end |
Immediate Self-Quarantining
Upon leaving the school, families will need to self-quarantine until notified by Health Authorities or by the school. Contact tracing by authorities will commence.
School Office
The office will be immediately closed. Parents are requested to make their way directly to the school pick up zones only.
Supervision of Students
Students will be supervised by staff in the designated zones for an hour after communication has been sent for children to be collected. After that time, if you have been unable to collect your child, they will remain supervised in the hall and students can be collected from the office.
Deep Cleaning
Specialised cleaners will be brought into the school to begin the process of deep cleaning.
Learning from Home
Depending on the time it takes for the school to be appropriately cleaned and officially reopened, Learning from Home may need to re-commence. Please allow time for teachers to prepare essential learning material for you to continue learning from home. Teachers will be in touch via the usual means of communication.
Continued Health Advice
I understand that our families remain alert to the potential spread of the virus and how it may impact our school community. I would like to reassure you that the health and wellbeing of your children, our students, remains our number one priority.
Queensland Health urges all communities to continue to be vigilant about health and hygiene at this time and to that end, have asked us to remind communities of simple hygiene practices that support public health by:
- keeping away from school should your child display flu symptoms- see your doctor
- cleaning hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs
- covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing and
- avoiding contact with anyone who has flu-like symptoms
For more information refer to the Queensland Health website http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthCondition/condition/14/217/838/novel-coronavirus
or call 13Health. Queensland Health continues to actively manage this situation and I will keep you informed on the back of any further advice from Queensland Health.
Again, thank you for your ongoing support in keeping our children and school healthy.
