Education Minister Sue Ellery joined Perth Live to outline the details for a safe reopening of schools next week and take calls from parents.

The measures included students being sent home to isolate for 14 days if a student tests positive, with the Chief Health Officer to assess each situation and make a decision whether to close the entire or parts of a school.

Minister Ellery confirmed schools had prepared for at home learning last year, with online learning, hard copy packs and access to a range of programs via the Education Department website to be available in case of an outbreak.

She also said the outspoken anti-vax school principal of Divine Mercy College  had written to her and advised he intended to ensure his school followed WA health advice.
