CHP: –

NOTICES 21st – 25th June 2021

 

As per our President’s recent address we have now moved to Lockdown Level 3.  It is important that we remain vigilant in all areas of life and not allow complacency to creep in.  The following protocols must be followed:

  • Absolute transparency regarding possible COVID contact at work or at home, informing the school immediately. 
  • Strict adherence to Covid-19 protocols by pupils, parents, and guardians.
  • Parents are not permitted to walk through the school. Please report to reception.
  • Parents are not permitted to drop off books, lunch, water bottles etc. for their children. Children must pack their bags responsibly.

Your co-operation will be appreciated. We are determined to do everything in our power to keep your children safe.

Please Take Note…

  • Digital Learning Programme:  The Digital Learning Programme will run in a similar way to how it ran last year as well as in January. The Grade R-3 classes will work on the Seesaw platform and Grade 4-7 will continue in Google Classroom. Zoom schedules will be set up and shared with you on Monday. The Digital Learning Programme will cover all academic subjects with the exception of Music, Art and IT. These subjects will only be offered for the children at school. The Co-Curricular programme has been suspended for now until further notice and children will need to be collected by 2:00pm or they will be signed into Aftercare. As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 numbers closely, we will review the Digital Learning Programme every 2 weeks (or less) and as the numbers start to decline, adjustments to the programme will be made.
