Classroom doors and windows to be kept open

Umina Beach Public School will keep classroom doors and windows open to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus.

"We will also be using ceiling fans to move the air around," said relieving principal Mr Chad Tsakissiris

"This maximises natural airflow and reduces the risk of spread of covid-19.

"The weather is predicted to remain cooler than usual and so we would encourage students attending onsite to bring a school jumper or jacket to keep warm throughout the day."

Mr Tsakissiris said the action was "in line with advice from NSW Health and the NSW Department of Education guidelines".

"Our aim is to keep everyone safe whilst here at school," he said.

"There will be plenty of changes and modifications to the way we do things here at school for the remainder of this term and we ask families to be understanding of these changes."
