Student at School Tuesday and Wednesday Last Week
Late yesterday Lane Cove West Public School’s principal sent out the following message advising parents “the student was in attendance on Tuesday (20th July) and Wednesday (21st July), so if you were on school site you will, at the very least, be a casual contact. That means you must get a test and stay home until you get a negative result. ”
She also stated: “I can confirm that approximately 25 students will be identified as a close contact, as well as some staff.”
See below the email sent to parents and carers last night:

The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are of paramount importance to us at all times. As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.
