School students and parents across New South Wales will know more details about the return to school date by the end of this week, which may involve a staggered return strategy.

Health and education officials met today to discuss the strategy to allow different year groups, starting from Kindergarten to Year 2 and Year 11 students, to return to classrooms in Term 4 with the possibility of any return to face-to-face learning in Term 3 being squashed.
