Mask-wearing requirement update
The Queensland Government has confirmed that mask-wearing restrictions in South East Queensland will ease, effective immediately.
Masks no longer need to be worn indoors, and students and teachers are no longer required to wear face masks at the School.
Health authorities strongly encourage anyone accessing public transport or rideshare arrangements to continue to wear masks, in addition to wearing one anywhere you cannot physically distance.
