OUR KIDS' LIVES MATTER

On May 24th, the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa stated that "we will be resuming classes for Grades 7 and 12 learners from the 1st of June". However, on May 26th H2 Primary School management took a decision to reopen the school for Grade 1; 2; 4 and 7s on June 1st 2020. This was in spite of the fact that the Covid-19 infection rate specifically in the province of the Eastern Cape is continously increasing at alarming rates.

As parents of H2 learners, we believe reopening the school even for the youngest learners at the start of the winter season will most likely lead to severe consequences such as loss of lives. To prevent this from happening, we say NO to our kids going back to school on June 1st, at least either after the end of winter, a Covid-19 cure is found or the infection rate has started decreasing considerably.
