1. Cloth face coverings act as a barrier to help prevent respiratory droplets from travelling into the air and onto other people when the person wearing the face covering coughs, sneezes, talks or raises their voice.
2. Teachers, staff and students attending post primary schools must wear a face mask when a physical distance of 2m from other staff or students cannot be maintained.
3. Face masks do not have to be worn by anyone who is medically advised not to. Proof of this advice must be given to school.
4. We remind you not to not touch the face mask and to wash or sanitise hands (using hand sanitiser) before putting on and after taking off the face covering.
5. Information should be provided on the proper use, removal, and washing of cloth face coverings.

7. Cloth face coverings should be washed after every day of use
8. Wearing a face covering or mask does not overrule the need to stay at home if displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

Covid-19 Pack

Students must provide their own Covid-19 pack in school each day.

It should include a clear ziplock bag with the student's name: 2 x reusable face masks and 1 pack x antibacterial wipes and 1 x small bottle of hand sanitiser.

These items cannot be shared with any other student under any circumstances.

Any student who arrives to school and does not wear a face mask when under 2 metres distance will be sent home and must be collected by a Parent/Guardian immediately.

The only exception is a student who has a medical clearance not to wear a face mask.
