Welcome Back to our CHP children! We are so happy to have some of our children back.

As per our President’s address, we have now moved to Lockdown Level 3.  However, 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 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.

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