As we welcome students and staff back for Term 2 we also have some important changes in relation to how we manage and respond to COVID-19 infections and close contacts.
From 12:01am Friday 29 April the mask mandate has been lifted. Although no longer mandated, individuals should feel comfortable wearing a mask if they choose, and we expect that our community will continue to welcome this.
In a school setting, particularly in classrooms, and where social distancing is more difficult, we encourage staff and students to wear masks.
Close Contacts:
In effect, only two groups of people will have to isolate from Friday:
people with COVID-19, and
close contacts with symptoms.
If you’re a close contact but symptom-free the following remains in place. For the seven days you would have been in isolation, you can leave the house but only if you:
For anyone aged 12 and over, they will still have to wear a mask in places like:
We appreciate that parents will continue to inform us of their child’s health status, and if COVID-19 related we would ask that parents inform us of the date they were confirmed COVID-19 positive or a close contact so that we can keep accurate records for when they need to return to school.
With updated close contact definitions in place, a child will no longer be identified as a close contact via a school contact. Any child who becomes symptomatic should stay home and be tested for COVID-19.
Please continue to refer to healthywa.wa.gov.au for information on close contact definition, testing and isolation requirements.
The easing of restrictions has meant some of our school activities can resume this term, and we will provide more information on the requirements and COVID‑19 considerations for each activity as they arise on the school calendar.
Yours sincerely,

Thank you for your prompt communication with us in relation to student absences due to COVID and other illness.
We will soon be releasing updated information as a result of the recent State Government announcements. As the mask wearing mandate is changing as of Friday 29 April, it is important that we are able to accurately track student absence, especially for students who are COVID positive.
When advising a student absence or student COVID absence:
SMS/Text 0400 207 306
Email australind.shs@education.wa.edu.au
Phone 9797 4400, selecting option 2
Include Student name
Student year
Reason – if COVID, please include the date your child was confirmed positive.
By including the date of when your child was confirmed positive, this will establish the period of quarantine and absence for attendance recording purposes, and we will not be required to contact you to obtain further information.
Thank you in anticipation of your continued support,

A reminder to our school community to our school community that Term 2 commences on Wednesday 27 April 2022.
I wish to advise our school community that Australind SHS will present an Anzac Day Commemoration Service on Wednesday 27 April 2022, which is day 1 for students in Term 2.
Due to the COVID restrictions that will apply to schools at that time, this service will not be an all school face to face assembly as in previous years.
The event will use a combination of our on-line resources and our public address system.

We have made the decision to postpone this whole school event and reschedule for Term 2, given the uncertainty of what a higher caseload is going to look like for our community and the current associated restrictions.
We will advise the new Athletics Carnival date at the beginning of Term 2.
Pre-Athletics Carnival events have proceeded as per normal during weeks 9 and 10 of this term.
Once again, we thank our school community for assisting us to enable a safe learning environment and, also, our students for exhibiting a continued approach of Responsibility, Kindness and Respect.
