John Wesley school Eshowe is currently following all the guidelines and protocols for COVID-19.

The department of education has kindly provided us with hand sanitizer, disinfectant for surfaces, spray bottles, a backpack mist sprayer, two infra-red thermometers, masks and visors. We thank them for their generosity. We have also bought a number of other items needed for the correct protocols to be followed. Please see below a copy of our prevention measures for COVID 19.
