The Government has moved the country into what they have called the ‘delay phase’

All schools within WNAT are complying with the latest Government advice regarding COVID-19 and will remain open, unless the situation changes and we are directed otherwise.

Staff are being vigilant of any student, or staff member, who are off school or showing signs of cold or flu like symptoms and will report through the correct channels.

All schools have followed Government advice and implemented a strategy of reminding students and staff of the importance of good hand hygiene.
