From the PrincipalDear parents and members of the OLSH community and extended OLSH community, Deep Cleaning at OLSH Last Saturday OLSH staff came to school, giving up their day of rest to work on deep cleaning of the entire school. Some of the teachers brought their spouse along to help. Every additional pair of hands was welcomed and greatly appreciated. Every nook and corner of every room in each of the buildings, toilets, other wet areas and the boarding house was carefully attended to. Every item of furniture and the Louvre windows were meticulously wiped down with disinfectant. I commend and thank the entire staff team led by Mr Patrick Baiwan. OLSH is proud of you and deeply appreciative that you gathered to work as one heartbeat for the health and safety of the entire learning community. This is true OLSH spirit in action. Thank you to Mr Douglas Tsang and the Board of Management for providing a token of appreciation on Tuesday, to the staff who attended the clean-up event. A more detailed account of the day, from Mr Baiwan appears further below. A couple of regular reminders appear below for the attention of all parents and guardians. School start time & student safety It has been noted that some students are standing outside the school gates as early as 7.00 am. Parents please note that there is no supervision for students before 7.30 am. Please do not leave your child outside the school gates. This is a hazard to their personal safety. Health and Safety is every person’s responsibility at OLSH As the health and safety of all members of the community are paramount, I reiterate below my message to the OLSH community with regard to COVID-19 safety and Scabies Management. All parents and guardians are asked to support the school by doing the right thing at all times. COVID-19 Safety Please do not send your child to school if they are sick or display any signs of cold and flu or have a fever. Please get medical attention for them at the earliest and inform the school of their absence. All students above 12 years of age are expected to carry and wear a mask to school. Personal hygiene and hand hygiene are to be practised every day at home and at school. Scabies Management As there have been a few cases of scabies at OLSH, parents are asked to please take note of the school’s scabies management policy which can be found in the link below. As scabies is a highly contagious disease, please ensure that you follow the guidelines in the policy. In the interests of the health and safety of the entire OLSH learning community, it is important that all families act with caution and care in taking prompt action to treat their son/daughter for scabies. Please send your child to school only after the steps for first line treatment and follow up treatment (if necessary) are carefully followed. |
