WA Health have provided free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) for each student and these have now been delivered to GHSS. 

These free RATs will support our students to continue to attend school for face-to-face learning and will minimise disruption to their schooling.  You will be able to test your child at home if they are feeling unwell.  You can also use these RATs if your child is a close contact to enable them to test daily and continue to attend school, as long as they receive a negative result and remain asymptomatic. 

Each student has 20 Rapid Antigen Tests for pick up allocated to them.  Please would you come into the administration office to collect your child’s supply as soon as possible, if you have not done so already.  We are not able to send these tests home with students in their school bags (students aged Karri Kinder to Class 2) but should you wish for another adult to pick up your child’s allocation this can be arranged.  Please bring a bag with you for collection as each test is individually packaged.

If your child becomes symptomatic they should stay home and be tested for COVID-19.  You should notify the school if your child tests positive for COVID-19.  Refer to healthywa.wa.gov.au for information on close contact definition, testing and isolation requirements.

Thank you for your continued efforts in keeping our school COVID-19 safe.
