From the School Nurse

While NSW is currently at 0 transmission for Covid-19, the Health Department guidelines still require parents and carers NOT to send children to school if they are unwell, even if they have the mildest flu-like symptoms. NSW Health has also requested that we, as a school, encourage anyone who is unwell or has even the mildest flu-like symptoms to be tested for Covid-19 through their general practitioner or through one of the Covid-19 testing clinics. 

We would also remind parents and carers that once tested, students must provide a copy of a negative test result and be symptom free before returning to school. 

It is important for the continued good health of both our School community and the community at large that we remain vigilant with regard to our health. As a result, students who come to school with even mild flu-like symptoms (raised temperature, cough, sore throat, runny nose, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell) will be sent home. They should then remain at home until all symptoms have gone. Your assistance and understanding is much appreciated.
