Please ensure your uniform is the right length, no jewellery, fake nails etc. Year 12 – you will be permitted to wear your jersey on top of your uniform while onsite at school. Year 12 – your allocated area for recess and lunch is the Marden Lawn. (In case of wet weather, you will be in the Kate Mason Building). These areas should be used for Prep lessons too, weather permitting. During Prep time you will be required to remain in the same friendship group for health and safety reasons- Year 11 – your allocated area for recess and lunch is the Mollie Dive Lawn (in case of wet weather, you will be in the JLT). Your Prep area will be the Library for Term 3. During Prep time, you will be required to remain in the same friendship group for health and safety reasons due to COVID-19. Please bring a towel to sit on the grass so that you can enjoy the lovely winter sun.

Information for girls from the Head of Senior School

SENIOR SCHOOL What will be different?

TRANSPORT • We ask that you avoid being dropped at school to help manage congestion.

Please be dropped at Grandview Street at the station and walk from the station wherever possible. Don't gather at the station in groups – please make your way directly to school. Be mindful to avoid touching railings and other high-touch areas/fittings. • If you are driving to school, please ensure that you park on the College side of Avon Road. This will avoid that area becoming congested with heavy traffic. • On arrival, there will be sanitiser stations at Sufferance Path and other gates.

Please use these. Sanitiser and tissues will be available in all classrooms and offices. Please use them.

LOCKERS • You have the option of accessing your locker if you wish, any valuables must be kept in your locker or at home. • You should keep your bag with you at all times if you are not using your locker. CATERING • Boarders’ lunches and cafés will be available, however to observe social distancing, we highly recommend that you bring in your own food and drinks from home. • The sandwich toastie machines and microwaves will be available in the Senior

School Lounge. Please use the hand sanitiser provided before and after use of either appliance. • Bring a water bottle. Our water bubblers will be closed but water filling stations will be available. • You are asked to strictly adhere to social distancing. This will be challenging, particularly for the huggers among us, but it is one of the conditions of a safe return to campus. • Wherever possible you are asked to maintain safe distance from anyone else on campus. Furniture will be spaced in rooms and common areas, please don't move anything.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL

Please also remember the importance of maintaining social distance with staff members.

If you see a cleaner, say thank you! They are working tirelessly to keep us all safe.

If you have an appointment, you will sign out at the Office as usual, but your parents will need to collect you from Gate 3. We are excited to see you soon!
