Important message from College Nurse

Dear Families

This is a reminder of how we all can help reduce the spread of germs in our school community to keep everyone healthy this winter.

Please keep children home if they are unwell or are recovering from a recent contagious illness.

Children who have had illnesses including vomiting, diarrhoea, the flu, chest infections, chicken pox, whooping cough or other contagious conditions must be kept at home until they no longer have symptoms.

To minimise the spread of germs and help keep everyone healthy, we ask that you:

  • Keep your child at home if unwell.
  • Teach and encourage good hand hygiene practices, including effective hand washing and coughing/sneezing into the elbow.

It is impossible to avoid all infections but by taking these precautions we can lower the risk of catching and spreading germs.

PLEASE READ THIS INFLUENZA FACTSHEET FROM NSW HEALTH

We appreciated your support.

Kind regards

Karen Peeters
College Nurse
