Despite the increase in cases, PCS wants everyone to know that Rupert schools are still a safe space. Remember to use your COVID-Sense: Wash/sanitise your hands regularly Avoid or limit touching your face Maintain 2 meters distance Wear a mask If you use your COVID-Sense your risk of getting COVID are reduced significantly. Our schools are regularly sanitised throughout the day, our schools have good ventilation and, while there have been a few cases associated with people at schools, there has been NO known transmission within a Rupert school. This is a testament of how well our schools have done. PCS respects everyone's personal choice within regards to attending or not. If you are not attending because of COVID please communicate that to us. We'd like to know. PCS is looking forward to seeing everyone this week.
