ISB Covid-19 Trip Policy
As we are getting closer to our DELVE trip departure dates, I wanted to remind everyone of our current COVID protocols. If someone were to test positive for COVID on DELVE, we would follow these steps below.
If a member of the trip tests positive for Covid-19:
- Relevant administrative team members will be informed to assist with Risk Management.
- The student will be isolated in an Isolation Room (i.e. hotel room) as dictated by location and parents will be notified for pick up and return home.
- Individuals requiring a higher level of care will prompt the Emergency Response Plan to be initiated.
- If a staff member/chaperone tests positive the individual will isolate from the group, arrangements will be made for return home at the discretion of the chaperone.
- A substitute will be called to replace the individual required to return home (where needed).
- High risk contacts will be identified and removed from the larger group, whilst arrangements are being made for parents to come and collect students from the trip. Where there are two or more students identified as close contacts, parents may nominate one parent to collect the students on their behalf. Otherwise, each parent will need to collect their own child.
ATK Testing
ATK testing will be conducted twice a week as per our current practice. Students might have to test on a different day depending on the trip they are on.
- Trips leaving Sunday for Overnight Trips – test Sunday morning (before departure) and Tuesday night (on the trip).
- Trips leaving on Monday for Overnight Trips – test Sunday afternoon as per normal and Tuesday night (on the trip).
- Day Trips – test on Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night as per normal.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Peter Assimakopoulos.
With much gratitude,
Peter
