School Sport and Guidelines | Delegate Andrew Hooper:
Andrew has put together a quick guide to support decisions needing to be made in our schools. Please contact him at Emu Height PS or via email. Summary of the key advice includes:
- If you cannot put off running an event because there is a timeline that cannot be changed i.e. zone swimming, regional swimming, and state swimming we need to run the carnival where we mitigate the risks.
- If the event does not need to happen then we decide if it should happen i.e. Teddy Bears Picnic
- We need to make sure we allow pathways for students to represent.
- Follow covid safe practices and accurate record keeping.
- Venue planning and messages on the day ie. safe practices, social distancing, hygiene, cleaning, masks etc
- Cohorting becomes the cohort for the day when running something and the cohort could be a stage at school, school at a zone carnival or a zone at a regional carnival. Cohorts can change depending on the situation.
- The sports unit is there to support.
