Guidelines under Orange

​What you can do: 
Masks
Under Orange light restrictions, masks wearing in lessons is encouraged but not required. 
All students, tutors and parents are asked to wear a mask at our Mid-Year Concert at the end of Term 2.

Wind and brass lessons
Wind and brass lessons will be held indoors. Our tutors will open doors and windows in our lesson spaces to ensure good ventilation.

No parents and caregivers in the classroom
To minimise the number of people in our classes, we ask that parents and caregivers please wait outside during lessons.

Staying at home if feeling unwell
As per Ministry of Health guidelines, any person who is feeling unwell, must not be on the school site. This includes if your child has:

• a cough
• a high temperature (at least 38˚C)
• shortness of breath
• a sore throat
• sneezing and runny nose
• temporary loss of smell

Please support us by keeping your child at home if they are unwell.

Isolation
Do not attend your lesson if you are required to isolate as a positive case or household contact.

Maintain high levels of hygiene
We strongly encourage all students to wash their hands before and after class. We will have some hand sanitiser available for students to use.

What our tutors will do
Contact tracing in case of a COVID-19 infection 
Tutors will continue to keep a record of attendance for contact tracing purposes.

Maintaining high levels of hygiene
All teaching spaces will have a disinfectant spray and paper towels available. Shared instruments such as keyboards will be cleaned using disinfectant spray after each class. 

Appropriate physical distancing
Students and tutors will maintain a 1 metre distance during music lessons. We will set up the chairs and music stands to allow this. ​
