20.01.2022 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR YEAR 7 2021 ORIENTATION DAY

19.01.2022 NSW Health is calling on people in the Hawkesbury and South Western Sydney areas to get tested if they have COVID-19 symptoms after the state’s sewage surveilla...nce program detected traces of the virus at two treatment plants. In South Western Sydney, NSW Health is looking closely at the suburbs of Belimba Park, Bickley Vale, Bow Bowing, Brownlow Hill, Camden, Camden Park, Camden South, Carrington Park, Catherine Field, Cawdor, Cobbitty, Currans Hill, Elderslie, Ellis Lane, Gledswood Hills, Glenmore, Grasmere, Gregory Hills, Harrington Park, Kirkham, Mount Annan, Mount Hunter, Minto, Minto DC, Minto Heights, Narellan, Narellan DC, Narellan Vale, Nattai, Orangeville, Oran Park, Raby, Rossmore, Spring Farm, St Andrews, Smeaton Grange, The Oaks and Varroville. Areas of interest in the Hawkesbury include Agnes Banks, Bowen Mountain, Grose Vale, Grose Wold, Hobartville, Londonderry, North Richmond, Richmond, Richmond Lowlands, Tennyson, The Slopes and Yarramundi. The closest testing clinics to West Camden are: Camden Hospital, 61 Menangle Rd Camden, 8.00am-6.00pm, seven days a week 14 Queen Street Narellan, 8.50am-5.00pm, Monday to Friday. The closest clinics to North Richmond are: Regatta Centre Drive-through, Sydney International Regatta Centre (enter via Gate B, Old Castlereagh Road, Castlereagh), 9.00am-12:30pm and 1.00- 4.00pm, seven days a week Penrith Drive-through Clinic, Club Paceway (enter via Ransley St, off Mulgoa Road), 9.00am-4.00pm, seven days a week. Finding traces of the virus in sewage samples could mean there were active cases nearby. It can also mean there are recently recovered cases, as people who have previously been infected can continue to ‘shed’ virus fragments into the sewage system for up to four weeks after they have recovered. The most recent cases in the West Camden catchment were reported in September, but no one living in the North Richmond catchment had recently tested positive for COVID-19. For more information on the NSW Sewage Surveillance Program, visit: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au//c/Pages/weekly-reports.aspx It’s vital we all continue to maintain physical distancing and keep up good hand hygiene, and anyone who is feeling unwell isolates and gets tested without delay. A full list of COVID-19 testing clinics in your area can be found here: https://www.nsw.gov.au//how-to-protect-yourself-an/clinics, or call your GP.

18.01.2022 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Oran Park Public School has continued to experience significant growth in student numbers. The Department of Education has an opportunity to temporarily utilise available space in the new built Oran Park High School. From Term 1, 2021, years 5 and 6 students will relocate into Building HC of Oran Park High School. The building is adjacent to the Public School and has an existing pedestrian bridge. Measures are in place to ensure both schools are able... to operate smoothly and there is minimal disruption to school operations. Primary student’s classes will be limited to Level 1 of C Block. There will be no mixing of the primary and high school groups, except for during planned activities. Primary students will continue to have recess and lunch in their normal playground areas. The relocation will enable several demountables to be removed which will significantly increase the open play area of Oran Park Public School.
