Advice for students testing positive to COVID-19 and having to isolate within the exam period:
You have just tested positive:
Step 1: Register with Service NSW
Step 2: Inform the school ASAP that you have tested positive and the dates of your isolation period.
Step 3: Keep a record of your Service NSW receipt of positive register or positive PCR confirmation, and dates of isolation.
Step 4: Once you are able to return to school, please fill out appropriate illness/misadventure form, attach a copy of your positive register or positive PCR confirmation, and hand to the Deputy Principal on your first day back from isolation. You will need a separate illness/misadventure form for each exam you miss. Find form here
Some Considerations:
- If you still have symptoms or are too unwell to return after your isolation period, please obtain a Doctor’s Certificate confirming you are unfit to sit your Trial HSC Examination.
- If you have COVID-19/Influenza/RSV symptoms but returning a negative RAT, please obtain a Doctor’s Certificate confirming you are unfit to sit your Trial HSC Examination.
- Photographs of positive RATs will not be accepted, you will need an official Service NSW receipt, or positive PCR confirmation.
