The Southport School continues to monitor the Coronavirus situation closely. We currently have no students impacted by the virus and none are in quarantine either on campus or at home.
Should a TSS boy be confirmed as having contracted the virus, we will immediately contact Queensland Health and be guided by their advice in managing our response. Queensland Health will advise whether or not the School should close temporarily.
As was the case when we had Norovirus two years ago, Queensland Health will then work with our school to conduct any specialised cleaning of our facilities as required to ensure our school is safe for students and staff to return when clearance is given.
If you are concerned about anything to do with the virus please call the Coronavirus Health Information Line – 1800 020 080

It is safe for students to come to TSS. We will make any future decisions based on advice from the Australian Government and Queensland Health. If the situation changes, impacted students and parents will be advised immediately.
For the safety of our students and staff on campus, and to limit the number of visitors to the school, we ask that parents contact the School via email or phone rather than visiting the school’s Prep or Senior Reception areas or Student Services.
