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.

ST PATRICK'S DAY RACES
This Saturday is the annual St Patrick’s Day Races at Callaghan park in Rockhampton. In addition to being a very enjoyable social occasion, the Race Day is a fund raiser for Catholic Primary Schools in the Rockhampton region.
Catholic Education is pleased to be associated with the St Patrick’s Race Day as it celebrates the lives of the thousands of Irish people who travelled across the seas to Australia and who made such a significant contribution to the foundation and development of Catholic education in our Diocese and beyond.
This year one of the races on the seven (7) event program will be named in honour of Terry Molloy who passed away last year. Terry was a long-time member of the St Patrick’s Day Race Club and his valued contribution to the Club and to the wider Rockhampton community earned him the respect and admiration of all who had the privilege to know him.
Terry is the father of our TCC staff member, Maria Learmonth. It is fitting that Maria will be a guest of the St Patrick’s Day Race Club on Saturday as the Club recognises Terry’s amazing contribution to the Club over many years through the running of a race named in his honour.
