Parents and Covid

Sadly we are still living with Covid. However although the new strains are weaker, they are unfortunately more aggressive. As parents, we must do all we can to keep our children and teachers as safe as possible. We can do this by following the advice from SA Health and the school. Covid safe measures still include:

• Social distancing (1.5 metres)
• Wearing masks (compulsory in HS, recommended in the PS)
• Well ventilated classrooms as well as working outside
• Vaccinations and boosters if possible
• Keeping children home if they are unwell for any reason. A “simple cold”, could be Covid.

As a parent if you need to come to school,

• Only enter the school site if you are feeling well
• Wear a face mask
• Use hand sanitiser
• Maintain a physical distance of 1.5 metres between others.
• Be respectful of the difficulties the school is facing

Teachers are trying their hardest to do their very best to teach your children under very difficult conditions. Many have their own families they need to support during this time.

At AIC we know it is important to actively engage with families as this is vital for student learning and wellbeing.

We will constantly find ways to safely invite parents back to school. In the meantime, we will continue to engage with families via other means where face-to-face is not possible.

Thank you again for your understanding during these trying times.

Kind regards
