Dear Parents and Caregivers,

COVID ALERT

As you may have heard on the news last night and this morning, there are now confirmed cases and school closures in the Lake Macquarie and Maitland LGAs.

Further to the Premier’s announcement late this morning, Lake Macquarie LGA will be in lockdown from 5pm today.

Our preparation day for remote learning will occur tomorrow and remote learning will commence on Monday. That means tomorrow, Friday 6 August, will be a pupil free day.

Specific information regarding remote learning in Primary and Secondary will be communicated tomorrow, Friday 6 August. Remote and Online Teaching and Learning Procedures for both parents and students will be posted on our College website tomorrow at the following location: https://bcc.nsw.edu.au/covid-1… 

Whilst we recognise that this will be disruptive and inconvenient for families, it is important that we follow NSW Health advice and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of further transmission to support our community.

As usual, if your child exhibits any symptoms, they must get tested immediately. NSW Health requests anyone who has been unwell or develops any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pain, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness to be tested at one of the COVID-19 testing clinics.

The College is currently working with health advice and will communicate with parents as information comes to hand. As usual all Government updates and major College communication will be posted on our website at the following location: https://bcc.nsw.edu.au/covid-1…

Further information about COVID-19 is available on the NSW Government website.

Thank you again for your patience, understanding and prayers as we work together to protect our community during the current pandemic.

“But we will trust in the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7

Regards,
