1. Please see attached face covering guidelines (frequently asked questions) sent by the Department of Education. I want to sincerely thank all of our parents who have taken this directive from the Department on board in order to safeguard the students from the risks of COVID-19.
It is generally accepted by the school community that rules put in place to protect the health and safety of the school community should be followed. Every effort should be made to clearly communicate the public health reasons behind the wearing of a face mask/covering.
Face masks/coverings protect both the wearer and others around them. Cloth face masks/coverings are more effective than visors. In the limited circumstances where a cloth face mask/covering cannot be worn, clear visors may be considered.
Parents are encouraged to work with schools in a spirit of partnership and co-operation to ensure the safety of the whole school community.
