Covid-19 Travel Policy

The safety of our student-body and teaching community is paramount. Parents/ Guardians are asked to notify the school should any person within a household travel or arrive from overseas, sharing the pertinent information with the school; names of person(s) traveling, countries visited, flight information, dates, the second negative Covid test(s) and the time frame of self-isolation or government enforced at home quarantine.

Any student traveling or sharing a household with a person who has travelled will be required to self-isolate for 7 days post arrival from “Very Low Risk”, “Low Risk”, “Medium Risk” and “High Risk” categorized countries. Please note a country’s ranking and protocols may change and we will follow suit as per the most recent categorization of each country. Please note a student’s absence due to elective travel will be at the parent’s discretion as will not be in a position to cater to students in isolation. As long as schools are not in a National lock down, we are unable to accommodate distance learning, however class teachers will share classwork.

Once one person is in isolation or at home quarantine, all students sharing that household will also be required to inform the school and not return until the isolation period is completed and in order to return to school will be required to provide a doctor’s note or a COVID-19 negative test depending on the risk level the country. Should there be a positive COVID test, please inform the school immediately and we will respond and take action accordingly.
