We have a revised COVID-19 Safety Plan to permit some
proximity and contact while wearing masks, but will require everyone in attendance - teachers, students and any
visitors - to show that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless having a
valid medical excuse). Numbers will be restricted, and we encourage wearing masks
indoors including during the class. QR check-in will be optional, but hand
hygiene, ventilation and cleaning requirements will continue as before.
If you are interested in coming along to the classes, please email your details and let us know that you'd like to attend.
We advise you to bring your own water and snacks. As ever, If you are at all unwell, or
have been exposed to any recent close contact or other risks, do get a COVID-19 test and stay home, following all NSW Health guidelines.
