Further to advice provided we can confirm with you that two students attending Riverstone High School have tested positive to COVID-19 resulting in the school being non-operational for on-site learning, Wednesday 26 August 2020 and Thursday 27 August 2020.
The school has been thoroughly cleaned and will resume on-campus learning tomorrow, Friday 28 August 2020.
The NSW Department of Education and NSW Health have been working closely to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff is maintained. This work has included identifying close contacts of the confirmed case and communicating directly with them regarding their requirement to self-isolate.
The students and staff identified as close contacts have been notified and have been asked to self-isolate for the required period and not return to school until this time has elapsed.
The school will be vigilant in implementing infection control procedures, including daily cleaning in accordance with normal protocols, the promotion of healthy hygiene habits and will continue to make hand sanitiser available for staff and students to use while at school.
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.
Further information on COVID-19 is available on the NSW Health website. If you have any education-related questions please contact 1300 338 679.
Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.
