COLLEGE NEWS
COVID POSITIVE CASES AT TCC
The College wishes to advise you that, during the past week, we have been notified of positive cases of COVID-19 in our school community.
We regularly consult with the Catholic Education Office and relevant authorities, and continues to follow the advice of Queensland Health regarding cleaning requirements.
Queensland Health has advised that no quarantine of students or staff is required.
As COVID-19 remains active in our community we ask you to continue to monitor your child’s/children’s health and if they develop any flu-like symptoms:
- Keep your child/children at home
- Seek a PCR or Rapid Antigen test where it is recommended and notify the school of positive results. Please be aware, a negative COVID test does not change the requirement to be symptom free to attend school.
- Follow the advice of Queensland Health
As we continue to navigate the pandemic, please remind your child/ren to:
- maintain good hand hygiene at all times
- cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the inside of their elbow and dispose of tissues in the bin immediately.
- practice social distancing from others where possible
- wear masks when required
We will continue to work closely with health authorities to keep our school community informed of any developments and advice. Thank you once again for your ongoing support.
TRANSITION RESILIENCE PROGRAM
Dear Parents, we understand that starting a new school may be very daunting and sometimes overwhelming for new students, particularly our new Year 7 students. Whilst best efforts are made to prepare students for life at TCC some may feel the weight of this experience more acutely. The Transition Resilience Program presented by myself and our College counsellors is designed to help those students who would benefit from extra support, so as they can feel at home at TCC and thrive. The program starts this Friday 22 February at the start of First Break in the Library (Lib 7). Students are welcomed to bring their lunch.
Kind regards and God Bless
