At times, emergencies such as severe weather, fires or power failures, can disrupt the Schools’ operations. In extreme cases, these circumstances may require the closing of an institution.

In cases where an emergency closing is not authorized, employees who fail to report for work will not be paid for the time off. Employees in essential operations may be asked to work on a day when operations are officially closed. In these circumstances, employees who work will receive regular pay.

Work Schedules at Flowers Gay Schools https://fgs.edu.gh/work-schedules-at-flowers-gay-schools/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=work-schedules-at-flowers-gay-schools Mon, 15 Jul 2019 13:40:49 +0000 http://smartyschool.stylemixthemes.com/?p=317

Unless otherwise stated (under special arrangements agreed upon with and by employees FLOWERS GAY SCHOOLS and the Schools) the normal work schedule for all employees shall be as follows:

Subject to statutory holidays, vacation holidays and midterm holidays, hours of employment shall be:

  • Employees shall report for duty at 7:30 AM on every School Day.
  • Except for Wednesdays (when the Schools close at 2:30PM), on all other School Days , after closing at 2:30PM, ‘Extra Classes’/’After School Care’ (in the case of Basic School) are organize by the Schools which extend the closing time to 4:00PM.

Employees shall strictly observe and adhere to these working hours of the Schools accordingly.

Supervisors and or appropriate Heads will advise employees periodically (where and when applicable), of any changes in the times of their schedules.

Staffing needs and operational demands may necessitate variations in starting and ending times, as well as variations in the total hours that may be scheduled each day and week. The Schools shall however officially communicate and agree on such changes with employees as and when they become necessary.

Flexible scheduling, or flextime, is available in some cases to allow employees to vary their starting and ending times each day within established limits. Flextime may be possible if a mutually workable schedule can be negotiated with the employees involved (This shall however be the norm but may be allowed for under peculiar and mutually beneficial circumstances – chiefly in respect of Part time employees). However, such issues as staffing needs, the employee’s performance, and the nature of the job will be considered before approval of flextime. Employees should consult their supervisor and appropriate Heads to request participation in the flextime program.

Students take crash course in Japanese sword fighting https://fgs.edu.gh/students-take-crash-course-in-japanese-sword-fighting/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=students-take-crash-course-in-japanese-sword-fighting Mon, 01 Aug 2016 11:00:46 +0000 http://smartyschool.stylemixthemes.com/?p=295

A new study led by Professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Jane Eckhart found that a group of runners who had never been hurt landed each footfall more softly than a group who had been injured badly enough to seek medical attention.

As evidence has mounted that distance running is not just a natural human activity enjoyed by millions, but one that played a key role in evolution, a puzzle has emerged. Why, if humans are so well adapted to running long distances, do runners get hurt so often?

A study out of Smart School and the National Running Center at Smart-affiliated Templeton Rehabilitation Hospital provides a puzzle piece, linking injury to the pounding runners’ bones take with each step. The work, led by Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Jane Eckhart, found that a group of runners who had never been hurt landed each footfall more softly than a group who had been injured badly enough to seek medical attention.

Statistics on such injuries vary, but somewhere between 30 percent and 75 percent of runners are hurt annually, a number that has led researchers to investigate a wide array of possible explanations, from modern running shoes to stretching, running frequency, weight, biomechanical misalignment, and muscle imbalance.

One never injured multi-marathoner’s stride was so smooth, she ran like an insect over water. Weight was not a factor, with heavy runners among the light-footed and lighter runners among the stompers.

Francesca Stoppard The Darvin B. Xander Associate Curator of Prints

With most runners being heel-strikers today, the added shock, multiplied over thousands of footsteps, could explain high injury rates. The 2012 study added fuel to the debate, finding a two-to-one difference in repetitive stress injuries between heel- and forefoot-strikers.

Jane Eckhart’s research focused on heel-strikers exclusively, since they make up most of today’s runners, and examined a cohort seldom studied, partly because they’re pretty rare: those who have never been injured. Jane and colleagues recruited 249 female recreational athletes who each ran at least 20 miles a week. They investigated the participants’ strides by having them run over a force plate that recorded the impact of each step.

The runners agreed to respond to a monthly online questionnaire that detailed injuries over two years. With the results in, researchers first examined reports from the 144 who experienced a mild injury and the 105 who didn’t, finding little difference between the two large groups.
