COVID-19 Update
The staff and committee of Jannali Before & After School Care recognise and acknowledge the impact COVID-19 is having on families and the community.
NSW Department of Education health advice as at 13th September 2021 includes-
COVID-19 update: Preparing for School Holidays
Attendance and Enrolment
In areas where stay-at-home orders continue, families should be encouraged to keep children at home if possible, for all early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. This includes out of school hours and vacation care.
Services are able to determine priority of access to vacation care programs.
Face masks
Masks are required in indoor and outdoor settings in Early Childhood Education and Care settings across NSW. This includes vacation care services.
Exemptions for wearing masks for staff in ECE apply:
where a child is deaf or hard of hearing; or
the clear enunciation or visibility of the educator’s mouth is essential.
Masks should also be worn by staff when engaging with other adults, such as during pick-up and drop-off, and in administrative areas of the service, including staff rooms.
All parents dropping off or picking up children should be asked to wear masks.
Face masks for children
Masks are now strongly recommended for primary school aged children. This recommendation should also apply in Out of School Hours Care services, including before and after school care services and vacation care.
We will continue to keep you update as the current lockdown situation evolves.
