STUDENTS WHO HAVE RETURNED FROM CHINA (NOT JUST HUBEI PROVINCE)
Update - Students who have returned from mainland China (not just Hubei Province)
As of Saturday (1 February 2020), all students arriving out of mainland China (not just Hubei Province) must self-isolate in their home for 14 days after leaving China, other than for seeking medical assistance. They are not able to attend school, school events, day care centres or residential colleges. This also applies to parents/carers, contractors, visitors and volunteers on school sites and at school events.
The 14 day exclusion is a precaution to ensure the safest possible environment for children. After 14 days, if the student has no symptoms they may attend school.
If your child is in this situation, and you have not already contacted Student Services, please email Student Services on perthmodern.studentservices@education.wa.edu.au
Parents/carers should notify the school that the student will be away for the exclusion period, and confirm the date in which they were last in mainland China.
Based on this information suitable school work will be arranged for your child to ensure their studies can continue.
Students in close contact with a person who has a confirmed case of coronovirus
If a student has been informed by Public Health authorities they are a close contact of a confirmed case of the novel coronavirus, irrespective of whether they have developed symptoms, they cannot attend school, school events, day care centres or residential colleges until their local public health unit informs them that it is safe for them to do so. This also applies to parents/carers, contractors, visitors and volunteers on school sites and at school events.
Parents/carers should notify their school, and evidence from the public health authority is required for the student to return to school.
