What should I do if I contract coronavirus or if one of my family members is infected and I am therefore unable to attend online classes? 

Please notify the school manager in order to discuss your situation. 

I am anxious and I would like to talk to someone.

The current situation poses a risk to our mental well-being. Having to spend a considerable amount of time indoors with minimal social contact, the anxiety that comes with not knowing how long this will last and having to readjust our work or study plans may take a toll on our health. Our psychologists are available for anyone who may find these circumstances particularly trying. Contact them through the Mental Health Hotlines:  0724 255 169; 0793 380 485
