Families to take ‘common sense approach’ as NSW schools resume

NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell says schools are “well prepared” for students to return and are asking families to take a “common sense approach”. Students in NSW will return to full time learning in the classroom from Monday as the state moves to ease lockdown restrictions. Ms Mitchell told Sky News it was expected that all parents should send their children back to school and could be “reassured” by the protocols put in place. She said social distancing measures were being implemented for adults on school grounds, extra cleaning supplies allocated to the classrooms and efficient lockdown processes ready to be rolled out in the case of an outbreak. “We are still saying please keep your kids at home if they are still sick but if they’re well we expect normal attendance to start from today,” she said. “We have got good systems in place and I think parents should be reassured by that. “We have sent very clear guidelines to schools on how they can implement [them].”
