NSW Health has defended its decision to allow an exclusive Sydney private school to send students to Kangaroo Valley despite the city’s strict lockdown.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian yesterday announced an extension of the city’s lockdown until July 30 with the majority of school students ordered to learn remotely.
However, students at the prestigious Scots College, where school fees near $40,000 per year, have been allowed to send year nine students out of the lockdown.
The teenagers have been “relocated” to their Kangaroo Valley campus.
A NSW Health spokesman told news.com that the school was not given an exemption for the current public health order.
