20 Aug 2021
As you are aware, Ferncourt Public School was non-operational yesterday, Thursday 19 August 2021 for the on-site attendance of staff, students, and visitors due to a staff member who tested positive to COVID-19.
The NSW Department of Education and NSW Health have been working closely to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff is maintained. This work has included identifying close contacts of the confirmed case.
The students and staff identified as close contacts have been notified and asked to self-isolate for the required period.
The school has been thoroughly cleaned and will be operational from Monday 23 August 2021 for any child who is unable to learn from home.
The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students are of paramount importance to us at all times. As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.
Further information on COVID-19 is available on the NSW Government website.
Further information about the NSW Department of Education's response to COVID-19 is available on the Department's website.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
