School COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocol:

1. Maks – As of 2nd May 2022 it will no longer be mandatory to wear a mask in schools. However, individuals are free to make their own assessment of risk for themselves and for their children.

2. Each individual will have their temperature checked before entering the premises. Students who are experiencing any COVID-19 related symptoms including: flu like symptoms: coughing, fever, etc. will not be allowed in the premises.

3. Unwell students and staff (irrelevant of severity) should remain at home until symptoms resolve and seek medical assistance as required. A medical certificate will be required upon re-entry. Continuity of Learning: During their quarantine/recovery period students will have the opportunity to attend the sessions LIVE from the comfort of their home.

4. Enforcement of good health hygiene inside school premises– Hand hygiene stations are set up at the entrance of the facility and in every class. Students are requested to sanitize their hands before entering and also before leaving the premises.

To avoid cross contamination of shared items all shared classroom resources (such as brushes, pencils etc…) especially for students under the age of 16 will be avoided. Each student is therefore required to bring their own resources.

5. A designated care system will be in place whereby each individual will be clustered and placed within groups of no more than 5 students. In the case of students under the age of 9, 1 mentor will be assigned per group. Students are advised to remain within the same cluster/group throughout the whole period of their learning. This applies both for the students and staff.

6. IMPORTANT: Parents of children under the age of 16 and Students who have been classified as vulnerable should discuss attendance with their doctor and also with the Management of the school, in order to assess the level of risk for the child to attend the Center. The decision to attend rests with the individual and/or parents/guardians of the young learner (for students under 16).

7) Continuity of Learning: Students who fall sick, are COVID-19 +ve and/or fall under mandatory quarantine and therefore cannot attend any of the classroom-based lessons are to advise the school management immediately. Students will be able to attend the Online Live sessions.

8) Special Mitigation & Grievance Procedure: The Health and Safety of our learning community (students, staff and their families) will remain our topmost priority throughout this pandemic. The school reserve the right without refund or compensation to take all the necessary disciplinary action, which may result in suspension of individuals, if any of the above protocols and policies are knowingly abused.

Further on, the school reserves the right without refund or compensation to take all the necessary mitigation measures if the situation worsens even if this may result in immediate closure of the school. In which case [of an unprecedented closure resulting from COVID-19] all courses will be transferred online.

Due to the changing situation each of these policies may be changed from time to time and are effective immediately upon posting such changes on the Site.
