Revision 5498: A Request from the Principal · Aitchison Collection Explorer

February 09, 2021 Dear Parents, A Request from the Principal It is observable that Dayboys are taking time off school to attend weddings, which often includes long traveling. This is partly encouraged by the alternate day cycles. We have imposed restrictions and quarantine conditions on boarders to protect their community. This has worked extraordinarily well in a system of non-compulsory boarding this term. However, we cannot have every Dayboy tested and nor can we regulate all Dayboy activities and their whereabouts. Accordingly, it falls to the parents of Dayboys to be responsible enough to keep their sons home after weddings to check for any symptoms and obtain a PCR report before returning to school. Boys should report to the College doctor, just as boarders do. Parents should also make sure their sons avoid frequent travel. The best thing a parent can do is to keep the school informed. This virus is still with us. It is real and remains very threatening to certain people, especially the elderly and infirmed. Our aim is to keep school operating in the interests of all boys and to finish the school year strongly and successfully. Michael Thomson M.A., Dip. Ed., M.A.C.E Principal
