Covid Update
Covid Update
The rules on self-isolation for household contacts have changed.
If you’re identified as a household contact of a positive COVID-19 case, you are advised to self-isolate for 10 days – irrespective of vaccination status, PCR test result and age.
What should I do if my child has COVID 19 symptoms?
It is extremely important that you continue to look out for symptoms of the virus amongst your own family. The most common symptoms are:
- new, continuous cough
- fever/high temperature (37.8C or greater)
- loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste
If your child has symptoms, they should not attend school and you should book them a test immediately. They should remain at home and everyone in the household should self-isolate until they receive their test results. If the test is negative, everyone can stop isolating (and return to school).
More information can be found on the parentclub website by clicking HERE .
If you do not have symptoms, you can order rapid lateral flow tests for regular testing at home.
The Scottish Government are encouraging everyone to take regular tests, particularly if you’re socialising or mixing with other households.

Thursday in the first week in Advent. It was a bitterly cold night with a bit of snow as well. This morning looks fantastic with the possibility of sunshine. We have celebrated fine Advent Assemblies in our two schools together with the enrolment of candidates for the Pope Francis Award Scheme and the Mini Vinnies at St David’s School. The funeral of Margaret Ryce will take place at 11.30 this morning. The whole parish is the invited to attend either of our Penitential Services during the Third Week in Advent: at St David’s on the 15th and at St Mary’s on the 16th. These wonderful events will be accompanied with General Absolution. Everyone is invited with special encouragement given to families preparing for Sacraments. This opportunity for Amazing Grace will be a wonderful preparation for the Lord’s Nativity. Come Lord Jesus come….
