If a case of COVID-19 is reported to Ocean Grove Primary School, all families will be notified via email.
Students who show symptoms of COVID-19 cannot attend school and should get tested and isolate
If your child is not experiencing COVID-19 symptoms but was in the year level with the confirmed covid case, they can continue to attend school but should monitor for symptoms

Reporting Covid-19
The Department of Education and Training has set up a portal for parents to notify schools if their child/children test positive to COVID19. To do this you will need to register and set up and account. This is a quick and easy process.
Parents only need to report their test result if it is COVID-positive. They must report a COVID-positive result to:
- the school by phone and the RA Test Portal; this is so the school can support them, record that they will be absent while in 7-day isolation, and let the rest of the school community know there has been a positive case onsite and that they should monitor for symptoms
- the Department of Health via the COVID-19 Positive Rapid Antigen Test Self-Reporting Form or call centre on 1800 675 398.
