Dear Families

It was certainly exciting to have all of students welcomed back on site this week to resume face-to-face learning once again.

Special welcome back to our Disability Unit students and families after the unscheduled closure of this space last week – our staff are pleased you have returned safely to us.

Classroom Contacts

As we manage site COVID cases this week families may have received a notification from VHHS.

To help clarify this process for families –

A ‘Classroom Contact’ – a school-based term, this is different from a ‘Close Contact’ – which is determined by SA Health guidelines.

When a student shares a classroom or interact with a student/staff who later tests positive for COVID they are termed a ‘Classroom Contact’.

If a Classroom Contact standard information is sent to families – by SMS, email and Daymap message – notifying them that their child was in contact, and the date this possibly occurred.

The focus of this information is to raising awareness for students and their families, so they are in the best position to monitoring for symptoms and test if required.

Further Department information is attached below ‘Testing Isolation & Quarantine’ that supports this process.

If you receive one of these notifications, please read through the information and contact us if you have any further questions.

To help us keep you informed, please update your contact mobile and email details if they have recently changed by contacting our Student Services team.
