Clarification regarding return to school following flu-like symptoms
Students who have been sick with flu-like symptoms defined by NSW Health as:

  • Fever
  • Coughing
  • Shortness of breath (difficulty breather)
  • Sore Throat
  • Loss of smell or taste

are required to present a negative COVID test result before returning to school. 

Please provide the school with a copy of COVID test results, as we are required to add this information to our school COVID testing register which is updated on a daily basis. The best way to do this is by sending a quick email to info@smmdow.catholic.edu.au.   Once the result is received, please email a copy to the school immediately, this can be done as a screenshot if the result is sent as a text to your phone.  Please note that your child will need to be symptom free and have a negative COVID test result before returning to school. 

If a student is unwell with EXPANDED coronavirus symptoms (see list below), they are not required to present a negative COVID test before returning to school. These symptoms include:
  • Headache
  • Muscle or joint pain
  • Runny nose
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Vomitting or diarrhoea
  • Loss of Appetite
Parents / carers are encouraged to seek further medical advice.  Your child must not return to school until they are symptom free and showing no symptoms of illness.

School Uniform Supplier
As previously advised to parents, we received notification that Mimosa has closed down their business effective Saturday 22nd August.   The school received notice from Mimosa on the 19th August of their decision.  The school is arranging to purchase what little stock Mimosa has left.

We are currently looking at new uniform suppliers and hope to be able to advise you of that decision shortly.  

Water Bottles

Bring your own

Due to COVID 19 restrictions, the bubblers have been turned off.  Therefore it is important that students come prepared to school with their own water bottle.
