Xavier High School in Albury has been advised by NSW Health that a member of the school community has tested positive for COVID-19.

We anticipate that the school will be operational on Monday, but this is dependent on advice from NSW Health.

All staff and students are asked to self-isolate until they receive further advice.

NSW Health has requested if you are unwell or if you develop any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness that you get tested at a COVID-19 testing clinic.

Xavier High School will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff is maintained.

The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us at all times. As such we will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.

While we recognise this will be disruptive and inconvenient for families, it is important that we follow NSW Health advice and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of further transmission to support our community. ... See MoreSee Less
