Following the recent announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa in response to COVID-19, all of our Nova Pioneer schools will be temporarily closed from Wednesday, 18 March. We acknowledge the additional pressure this school closure may have on many of our Nova Pioneer families.
Even though schools are closed, learning can and will continue. Our academic team has worked on a learning continuity plan, so that as far as possible student learning can continue remotely during this period of school closure.
What does the school closure mean for Nova Pioneer families – students and parents?
Although no one could have anticipated the closures to come into effect so soon, Nova Pioneer’s School Leaders had already begun planning for this eventuality. Our School Leaders, Learning Design team, and teachers have worked together to prepare remote learning structures and materials for all our students.
Provision has been made for both Primary and Secondary schools for continued learning for our students and depending on their grade level, students will either receive learning packs to be be facilitated by parents or will participate in an e-learning programme facilitated by Nova Pioneer teachers.
Will there be access to Nova Pioneer schools during this time?
The school will remain closed until further notice with the reopening date communicated at a later stage.
We understand that this is an uncertain and worrying time. We are committed to doing everything necessary to limit the impact of COVID-19 on our students, staff and the broader community thus, access to the school grounds will not be permitted from Wednesday 18 March until further notice.
Nova Pioneer families will receive further communication with more information to guide on critical details pertaining to the school closure. We continue to take guidance from the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) and Department of Health. We remain committed to ensuring continued communication of the necessary facts with those in our Nova Pioneer community.
