Principal's welcome
As we approach the beginning of a new school year, we reopen amid uncertain times. The reopening of St. Felim's requires a community effort and it is vital that we all play our part. Adhering to Public Health guidelines has never been so important. It is also extremely important that children who are unwell remain at home.
Please discuss with your child the changes which they will be introduced to when they return. Please go through the importance of hand hygiene and coughing and sneezing etiquette with them also. At this stage all should be familiar with the use of hand sanitisers. Staff will reinforce these measures with the children on their return.
Coughing or spitting deliberately in someones direction and the spreading of rumours about those with or suspected to have Covid will not be tolerated and will be dealt with by our Code of Discipline.
