Welcome back to a brand-new term at Davebrook Schools & College! As we open our doors for the first day of Term 3, we are stepping right into a highly active weather transition phase. The Makogi and Magboro axis is currently tracking a volatile mix of intense thermal heat and sudden, heavy thunderstorms.
To ensure a smooth and safe resumption week for all our returning learners, management has issued the following critical weather and health advisory.
Latest Weather Developments (April 27 – May 3)
Expect extreme atmospheric instability this week. High humidity levels (currently peaking at 89%) will amplify the “Real Feel” of the daytime heat, while afternoons and evenings carry a severe risk of high-intensity thunderstorms.
- Monday – Tuesday: Scorching sticky heat with scattered thunderstorms. Extreme UV levels during midday.
- Wednesday: Heavy Rain Alert (80% Chance). Expect significant downpours and potential localized flooding.
- Thursday – Weekend: A continuation of the humid heat pattern, punctuated by light to moderate rain showers.
⚠️ Critical Health & Safety Protocols
The shift from intense dry heat to heavy rains creates specific health hazards. We require all parents and staff to enforce these safety measures immediately:
- Hydrate Aggressively: The 93°F heat combined with high humidity causes rapid fluid loss. Equip your child with at least two large, refillable water bottles for the school day.
- The “Pre-Storm” Mask: Strong winds often precede the predicted thunderstorms, kicking up dust along the Makogi/Shefu Road. We strongly recommend students wear face masks during the morning commute to protect their respiratory tracts.
- Anti-Fungal Vigilance: Damp school uniforms and socks are breeding grounds for fungal infections. Ensure all washed uniforms are thoroughly dried and ironed before wear.
- Flash Flood Safety: With Wednesday carrying an 80% rain probability, please ensure students are dropped off and picked up promptly to avoid the risks associated with sudden flash flooding.
🚨 Administrative Resumption Notice: Outstanding Clearances
As we enthusiastically begin Term 3, we must strictly enforce our financial policies regarding school fees. Please be reminded that all school fee bills generated between now and April 30, 2026, remain designated as Term 3 2025/2026 Academic Session School Fees, specifically targeting the clearance of outstanding mandatory bills.
We urge parents with uncleared balances to settle these immediately at the administrative office to ensure unrestricted access to Term 3 academic activities.
