From before the start of the school year, St Paul’s International College has followed the directions of the NSW Department of Health in regards to the novel coronavirus.
On Tuesday 28th January, the department issued a request for all students returning from China to remain in isolation for 14 days before returning to school. Students who returned to the College were immediately placed in isolation. No student is exhibiting symptoms of the virus and none of these students has returned from Wuhan City or Hubei Province. Meanwhile, the College has separated the academic and boarding campuses so that local students can continue their studies. After the 14 day isolation period, international students will be medically assessed before returning to classes.
The College, which has been a member of the Southern Highlands Community for over 30 years, thanks parents and the local community for their support and good wishes.
