A class of graduating primary school students and their parents have been sent into quarantine after a COVID-19 case was identified at a school in Adelaide's west.
Catholic Education South Australia announced that a member of the school community at Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Albert Park had tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.
SA Health has not yet listed the school as an exposure site, however Catholic Education SA said authorities were working to identify close and casual contacts.
Catholic Education SA said all students from class 56LT who attended school on Monday and Tuesday, as well as all year 6 students and parents who attended the year 6 graduation at The Lakes Resort in West Lakes on Monday, must get tested and quarantine while awaiting further advice from SA Health.
Classes have already finished for the year but the school, including its vacation care, has closed today for cleaning and contact tracing.
The news comes a few days before a vaccine mandate for school staff and volunteers comes into effect.
By Saturday, anyone working in a South Australian education or early childhood setting must have received their first COVID-19 vaccine and have proof of a booking for their second dose.
South Australia recorded three new cases of COVID-19 yesterday, including one linked to the Norwood cluster.
