School-planned travel abroad during the month of March is being cancelled.
Due to the situation with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the decision was made this morning to cancel all Public Schools Branch sanctioned school trips to Europe for the March Break period, as well as all school-planned travel abroad for the rest of March.
Education Minister Brad Trivers says the decision to cancel school trips was not made easily as students were looking forward to the trips, but their safety always comes first.
Approximately 100 students and staff have been impacted by the cancellation.
