Speaking to parents who accompanied their children on Monday – the reporting date, the school teachers and executive staff said all pupils and visitors will be required to fully observe and implement the Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and health measures as directed by the government.
“Health, safety, and well-being of pupils, students, staff, and families is top of mind and that it is committed to following government guidelines and ensuring that they are a good partner for everyone in the community,” one of the staff told the parents.
“On arrival, all the staff and pupils are expected to undergo temperature screening while the desks have been rearranged for social distancing,” he added.
