COVID-19 Alert Level 1
Thank you to everyone for your hard work during the recent lockdown. We stayed home and we saved lives! Our school is open again to students and staff and we are loving being back in action again.
Now that we are at Level 1 we welcome more 'normality' to our school and grounds. Our main emphasis is on ensuring hygiene practices are kept high. Hand washing, sneezing and coughing into your elbow, and staying home if you are unwell are our important points at this time. Please keep your children home if there is any sign of them being unwell.
Thank you.
Staff Relay in Lockdown
Our staff have put together a virtual relay to show you all how we are keeping active in Lockdown.
COVID-19 INFORMATION
- We are constantly being advised by the Ministries of Education and Health as to what is expected of us.
- We are continuing to remind children of the expectation of hand washing and the need to do this thoroughly.
- We are ensuring we are equipped with adequate stocks of soap, paper towels and hand sanitiser.
- We are encouraging children to use paper towels to dry hands, rather than the hand dryers.
- Teachers are ensuring that children have the facts through sharing the video from Dr Michelle Dickinson that was shared on our FB page and in our newsletter last week (below).
The Ministry of Education has informed us that through our community we all have a very large role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 through:
- Awareness
- Vigilance (stay away if you are ill)
- Good hygiene (hand washing, drying, coughing and sneeze etiquette as per the picture below)
The Ministry of Health website www.moh.govt.nz remains the best location for up to date information.
We will keep you up to date with any new information or updates as they come to hand.
