31 Aug 2021
As you are aware, Yates Avenue Public School was non-operational for the on-site attendance of staff and students due to a member of the school community 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 Wednesday 1 September 2021 for any child who is unable to learn from home.
The Yates Avenue After School Care and Pre School will also be operational.
The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is 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.
