SSS – Department of Health mandatory mask requirement reminder

A message from St Stephen’s School

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please be reminded of the following requirements from the Department of Health:

Face masks are required indoors (except at home) for everyone aged 12 years and older at all times, unless an exception applies.

  • We strongly recommend that you wear a face mask outdoors, if you can’t physically distance, have any symptoms, or if you are with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19.
  • Carry a mask when leaving home.

If you have a child in Year 7 and up, please ensure they come to school each morning with a mask. Having a spare mask in their bag is highly recommended. Whilst we have a small reserve of masks for students who have a breakage across the day, it is our expectation that you equip your child with all they need to follow health directions at school.

Regards and thanks,

 

Mr Bennet Andrews

Deputy Head of Secondary (Care)
