6 February 2021 Dear Parents/Guardians It is important to note that Schools have different protocols in place for the safe provision of sport; please be aware of these. Again, if your daughter has any symptoms or if they have visited any identified locations where cases have been confirmed, please do not let them play and contact your daughter’s Co-curricular Coordinator to advise as soon as possible. This weekend sees our Girls’ teams playing against Blue Mountains Grammar School, Central Coast Grammar School, Chevalier College, Knox Grammar School, Oakhill College, Oxley College, Redlands, St Spyridon College, and Trinity Grammar, each with different COVID-19 sports’ protocols. Several schools will also be visiting Barker College for the Rugby 7s and Touch Football competitions. It is extremely important that you carefully check and follow the procedures for your venue. Please use the following steps for finding the relevant Sports fixture protocols: • Check the sports fixtures on the Barker website to find out where your child is playing https://www.barker.college/barker-college-sports-fixtures • If your child is playing at Barker two parents &/or guardians are permitted at indoor and outdoor venues for each student.
