What action has the school done so far?
Temperature screening and hand sanitization is done upon entry. The school is encouraging good
hygiene among pupils and staff by washing hands frequently, providing hand sanitizer, discouraging
handshakes and close contact. Students who have a temperature beyond the normal range and
those who appear to be unhealthy are sent home.
Are my children in danger of contracting Covid-19 by attending school?
Not any more so than anywhere else.
Will the school declare emergency holiday in lieu of Covid-19?
The school will continue till the end of the exam week (Friday, 20 March 2020) and close the
following week (Monday, 22 March 2020). School is expected to resume on Monday, 27 April 2020
which is the beginning of Term 3. However, should the Ministry of Education declare emergency
holiday due to Covid-19, the school will follow suit.
How will I be updated?
