Dear Parents
I hope this message finds you well.
We are all facing the same pressure and fear of the unknown but we commend our President for his swift and bold decision making to protect our nation. It is up to us now to comply and adhere to the efforts to control the spread of the virus.
We have been alerted to the situation that the learners who attended the sports tournament at Eagles Nest may have been exposed to a person with the Covid-19 virus. Please be vigilant and should your child/children show any signs of illness please seek immediate medical attention.
I have a press release from the school concerned and message from Netball SA.
As we approach the start of the shutdown and know that there is great uncertainty for the days that lie ahead, our thoughts prayers are with you and indeed the rest of the country.
Warmest regards
Brian
