Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Staff,
I hope this email finds you all well and safe.
Merici College follows various COVID-19 Safe requirements as advised by ACT Health which seek to prevent and minimise the transmission of COVID-19.
The safety and wellbeing of students and staff is the primary consideration of any decision related to re-opening schools.
These requirements are designed to:
- minimise unnecessary physical interaction between students on school grounds;
- ensure that students learn and interact only with those in their cohort, wherever possible;
- minimise opportunities for transmission and enhance contact tracing; and,
- minimise the potential for widespread infection across the school and wider school community.
All our school staff have been encouraged to be vaccinated, and I can advise that many of our staff are vaccinated or in the process of getting vaccinated.
Due to Australian privacy law requirements, we are unable to advise the vaccination status of individual students or school staff.
Please refer to the documentation downloaded below, provided by Catholic Education, which provides more specific information and a COVID-19 update for ACT Schools for Term 4 2021.
With kind regards and take care,
Anna Masters
Principal
