Good afternoon everyone,
Thank you for the support you have given us over the last couple of weeks during remote learning. We move into the next chapter of Covid 19, 2021.
Trinity Catholic Primary School is currently under level three restrictions. Please note if there is one case of Covid 19 in the Hilltops area we will move to level four restrictions.

Restriction Description Summary |

Remote learning from home. |
3+ |
When stay-at-home rules are still in place but other community vaccination and transmission conditions are met, students will return to school in a staged way. This is a staggered return for prioritised cohorts, with no mingling or on-site activities. |

Areas across NSW that are removed from stay-at-home rules will return to school under Level 3 settings. Schools returning through the full return model should refer to the Level 3 guidance for schools. |
In the coming five days the following protocols will be in place to provide a safe learning environment for students, minimise opportunities for transmission and enable the most effective contact tracing and containment measures.
We will be:
- minimising unnecessary physical interaction between students on school grounds;
- ensuring that students learn and play only with those in their cohort, wherever possible;
- minimising opportunities for transmission and enhance contact tracing; and
- minimise the potential for widespread infection across the school and wider school community in the following ways-
