Primary schools are reopening fully from 8 June 2020. The updated protocol (dated 4 June 2020) for the full primary school opening can be downloaded here.
Secondary schools have partially re-opened on 2 June, respecting the 1.5 meter guideline between students and students and teachers. Until at least until 19 June we will continue our successful home school programme and will be providing 2 days of on-site schooling per week. The Return to School protocol can be downloaded here.
Home Learning
Our home learning programme is designed to support the continuity of education of our students.
While we can no longer instruct our students face-to-face, we have learned that our existing focus on technology tools and independent learning allows us now to continue to provide our students with an effective alternative learning environment.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation and support in this process. Please continue to ensure your children’s readiness and attendance for their online work and that all etiquette requirements are followed properly. Please be assured that we are all here to answer questions and to provide assistance.
