St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary School in Kambah was exposed to COVID-19 over two days last week.
Students in one classroom were identified as close contacts "along with a small number of other individuals" from an unknowing exposure on Wednesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 16.
"After cleaning was undertaken over the weekend, the majority of students were welcomed back to school today and have continued their education," Principal Ursula Jamieson said.

"Our community is thinking of those who are in isolation awaiting test results and has been buoyed to hear that many have already returned negative results."
St Thomas is the only school to be added to the list on Monday, which has grown to include 22 schools in total.
