Dear Parents/Carers and Staff

This is important information from WA Health.

I am writing to advise you there has been a positive case of COVID-19 associated with Perth Modern School.

The Department of Health has completed contact tracing and determined that there are no school-based close contacts of this case. No students or staff are required to quarantine at this time and should attend school.

Nonetheless, this news should come as a timely reminder for all members of the community to monitor COVID-19 symptoms and seek testing if symptoms develop.

Advice for all families and staff:

· The school remains open.

· We ask that you monitor your child/yourself for symptoms of COVID-19 and get tested and isolate until you receive a negative result, if symptoms develop.

· If you or your child develops symptoms, please do not attend school.

· Please note that the Omicron strain can present with less typical symptoms such as diarrhoea, particularly in children. 

Kind regards

Mitchell Mackay

Principal

Perth Modern School
