• Classes will be divided so that only a maximum of 15 learners will be in a class.
• Teachers will be moving around instead of the learners for their different subjects.

• Learners have been advised to bring books to entertain themselves during lunch time as no playing will be allowed.
• No parents will be allowed on the school premises unless they are there to collect something from reception.
• Learners will be sanitised every time they leave the class and when they return.
• Should a learner’s temperature be over 37.7 degrees, they will be isolated in a special classroom and their parents will be called.
• To allow parents to clean and sanitise the learner’s uniform, they will wear uniform on Mondays, civilian clothes on Tuesdays and so forth,” he said.Elliott added they will provide transport drivers with an information pamphlet on June 1 to ensure they follow the correct protocols.
