The health and wellbeing of our children, staff and community is a top priority.
We’re sending this email as there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 in our school community. The student was at school on Wednesday 1 December.
Those that were in close contact with the case have been provided the appropriate public health advice including testing and isolation requirements.
Our school is staying open. Based on international and local evidence and experience, the risk of COVID-19 transmission within school settings is considered low. This means that it is no longer necessary for the school to immediately close when a case has been identified as infectious while at school.
Silverdale School is staying open at this time.

- If any develop, get tested immediately
