Families returning from overseas during the summer holidays. 

New South Wales (NSW) Health has developed specific guidelines for students returning to school who have been overseas, namely -

• After arriving in NSW, you must have a standard COVID-19 nose and throat test (PCR) at a clinic within 24 hours of arriving in NSW and on or after the seventh day from your arrival in NSW.
• Vaccinated persons and children under 12 years of age who are not fully vaccinated must not attend school or childcare until they have a negative result from their day 7 test.
• You will need to submit your negative day 7 test result to school before your children may return to campus. Send a screenshot of your SMS test result to GISS via absent@giss.nsw.edu.au.

Please be mindful that these rules may change without notice, and GISS will follow the most up-to-date advice from NSW Health.  

If your travel plans will delay your children's return to school for term 1 2022, please let the school know.

For more information, please refer to the NSW Health guidelines for recent fully vaccinated arrivals.
