You may be aware that we have had positive COVID cases among our staff and students at QPS. This is to be expected as it is in the wider community. We are very grateful that families are self-isolating and staying at home until they are well. Please monitor your child for symptoms and if they are showing signs of the symptoms listed below they must stay at home.
The health and wellbeing of our children, staff and community is a top priority so we are closely following the Ministry of Health guidance for schools.
At Phase 3 of the Omicron response, only cases and household contacts are legally required to isolate.
Please continue to follow good practices when it comes to your own health and the health of your whānau.
What we’re doing
-
We are staying open.
-
We are using public health measures to reduce the risk in our settings, including masks, physical distancing and ventilation.
-
We have appropriate cleaning procedures in place.
What you need to do
-
You and your whānau should be very vigilant about monitoring for symptoms.
-
If any symptoms develop, get tested immediately.
-
Then, stay at home until you receive a negative result, AND until you or your child is symptom free for at least 48 hours.
-
Wear a face mask when out and about.
-
Wash hands often with soap for 20 seconds and dry your hands completely.
-
Wash your hands if you have been in a public place or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
-
Avoid touching your face, and cough or sneeze into your elbow or cover your mouth with tissues.
-
If you and your whānau haven’t been vaccinated or boosted, please do so as soon as possible. You can book online or call 0800 28 29 26. It’s free.
