Dear Parents and Whanau,
We would like to reassure you at Sacred Heart Cathedral School, the health, safety and wellbeing of our children, staff and community is a top priority and we have all the appropriate public health measures and cleaning procedures in place to manage the current COVID situation.
This evening I was notified of a confirmed case of COVID-19 in our school community,
Sacred Heart Cathedral School is OPEN and will continue to follow all public health measures.
As we are in Phase 3 we are no longer required to undertake contact tracing and only household contacts need to self-isolate. We will not be notifying which syndicate the child is in.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Sacred Heart Cathedral School families who are currently self-isolating.
What you need to do:
- Watch for covid symptoms- sore throat runny nose, headache, fever, loss of smell or a cough.
- If any develop, get tested immediately
- Then, stay at home until you receive the result
- If you or someone in your household receives a positive test at any point, please contact the school straight away.
- If your whānau haven't been vaccinated, please do consider doing this as soon as possible. You can book online at bookmyvaccine.nz or by calling 0800 28 29 26. It’s free.
Less common symptoms include diarrhoea, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, abdominal pain, joint pain, or confusion/irritability.
We understand that this is likely to be a stressful time and we will keep you updated. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

This is such a tricky time for all of us please be aware that as a school we are doing everything to support our school community during this pandemic.
Take care and keep safe.
