Staged return (Level 3 plus)

Schools in areas where stay-at-home rules had been in place for an extended period of time (continuously from August 2021) will follow a staged return to on-site learning under Level 3 plus settings from 18 October. Our principal will advise you of our planned date of return and the COVID-safe plans on site to support this. All staff must be fully vaccinated before coming on site under the staged return.

Students will return to face-to-face learning with NSW Health-approved COVID-safe settings on school sites in the following order:

• from 25 October – all year groups.

Students completing their HSC are already able to return in a limited way and this will continue for the remainder of Term 4 before their HSC exams.

Conditions and guidelines to support schools with a staged return are detailed below.
