As you may be aware, the Education Ministry is collaborating with other relevant sectors and working on a pilot project, Sandbox Safety Zone in Schools. The aim is to get children back to school in red and deep red provinces.

With all our staff now vaccinated, there would be a bubble and seal approach involving strict limits on who goes in and out of school—testing would take place using Antigen Test Kits for children and family members, teachers and other school staff. The families with children would also need to be fully vaccinated. We want to have children back in school, and we are optimistic that this project will enable us to do so safely.

As more information on this project unfolds, we need to ask your intentions; would you be interested in your child taking part in the Sandbox Safety Zone in School? Please complete the questionnaire below.

Please answer the questionnaire once for each child, enabling our planning to be as accurate as possible. Thank you.
