DURBAN - One of the schools that welcomed pupils back to class was Curro Hillcrest. The school said all Covid-19 safety measures had been put in place for the start of the school year.
Curro Hillcrest executive head Paul Guthrie said in approaching the current scenario the country finds itself due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a staggered approach was adopted where certain grades come back each day to school and at the same time online learning will take place on days when pupils are at home.
âThere is a very positive mood at the school and pupils and staff are excited to be back at the start of the year albeit not the entire school population has returned. Today was the first day, we had a number of very enthusiastic Grade 1s who started their âformalâ schooling career,â said Guthrie.
