COVID-19 ADVICE FOR LEVEL 3 SCHOOLS

At this stage, advice laid out by NSW Health states that the LGA of Lismore will move out of the stay-at-home orders at 12:01am on Monday 11 October.

Once the stay-at-home orders are lifted, the College will be operating under Level 3 restrictions with all students and staff returning to school for
face-to-face learning. Guideline levels for schools continue to be determined according to the school's LGA or suburb. NSW Health will continue to monitor the number of cases and will move LGAs and suburbs in and out of Level 4 restrictions as needed to suppress any outbreaks.

The College is reassessing our current Covid-19 Safety Plan and risk management protocols in light of the recent outbreaks in our local region. 

We encourage all members of our community to stay up to date with the latest health advice and restriction requirements, and continue to follow the social distancing and hygiene guidelines outlined by NSW Health.
