Coronavirus COVID-19

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a growing concern worldwide with examples in many countries of its health, social and economic impacts. Cairns Catholic Education is actively planning to manage the impact of this virus in our schools and their communities to be as prepared as possible for the challenges ahead. Measures we are implementing as part of our duty of care and commitment to the safety of all members of our school communities will be updated on this page as circumstances change, in line with the professional advice we receive from State and Commonwealth health authorities.
