Fundamental to this is to wash our hands BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER a            session and maintain physical distancing between all participants. We                            understand this is more difficult for children but please encourage everyone to     follow these best practices:

When coughing/sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a flexed

  • elbow or tissue (discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean    your hands with soap and water).
  • Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly (at least 20 seconds on      every part of the hand). Use soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub even if your hands are not visibly dirty.
  • Maintain physical distancing (at least 1 metre/3 feet distance between yourself and other people if possible). Instead of handshaking/high fives, try other alternatives, safe and fun ways to acknowledge friendship and celebration without physical contact.

We thank you for your understanding during this challenging time. We will stay in touch and be in contact with further updates as new information comes to hand. It is important that you all look after your physical and mental wellbeing at this time.
