To ensure the safety of our teachers and students, please take some time to read our COVID-Safe plans below:

 

KEEPING PENRITH CON COVID-SAFE

The number of attendees per class is restricted to enrolled students only.

Any shared equipment/instruments will be wiped down with disinfecting wipes after each class. Please refrain from sharing equipment/instruments during the class. 

Everyone entering the building MUST use the hand sanitiser provided before and after each class, as well as any time they enter or leave the building.

We strongly advise students against the use of public transport when travelling to Penrith Con.

It is imperative that if you are unwell or experiencing symptoms such as cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or fever, that you stay at home. Please do not enter the building if you have been overseas in the last month, if you are awaiting test results of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with a known or suspected case of COVID-19. This applies to all staff, students and parents/carers. Students will not be permitted in the class if they answer yes to any of the above screening questions each week.

Our terms and conditions of enrolment have also been updated to reflect this – in enrolling you are committing to maintaining these conditions throughout the term.

Should you at any stage this term, develop symptoms or receive a positive result for COVID-19 test, please contact Penrith Con Management immediately, and complete the Covid-19 Case Reporting form.
