“Initially, we were hoping that the virus pandemic would get better, but there hasn’t been any meaningful improvement. Therefore, we had to make the hard decision of postponing the camp.
“We did this in compliance with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation that mass gathering of people should be avoided. Moreover, the safety of children that would be attending the camp is very important to us.”
Revealing that the school is taking other precautionary measures to keep the virus at bay, he added that the students of the school have been well-educated on how to protect themselves and their family from the virus; stating that hand sanitizer dispensers have been installed at strategic locations within the three campuses of the school, as well as in their special needs school – Anthos House.
