Return to school
We are delighted to be welcoming the return of 3rd to 6th class on Monday March 15th. Please see the Covid-19 Response Plan which was updated in February 2021 and ratified at the BOM meeting on March 1st 2021. Click here to view. It is also available under the Covid-19 tab.
Adhering to Public Health guidelines has never been so important. It is also extremely important that children who are unwell remain at home.
Please remind your chil/ren of the importance of hand hygiene and coughing and sneezing etiquette. At this stage all should be familiar with the use of hand sanitisers. Staff will reinforce these measures with the children.
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.
