Handwashing Practices
On the 24 and 25 March we will be having demonstrations from outside personnel to show our students the best ways to wash their hands. They will also bring a UV light to show the students how effective they have been. We are also adding soap and paper towels to the learning spaces and sinks with warm soapy water to ensure all students have ongoing access to washing their hands regularly.
- Remember to:
- Wash hands for at least 20 seconds with water and soap and dry them thoroughly:
- before eating or handling food
- after using the toilet
- after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose or wiping children’s noses
- after caring for sick people.
Here are some videos to show your child and share how to wash their hands.
