Hygiene in the winter months

Hygiene in the winter months – keep us all safe and healthy

As we move into the winter months, we want to make sure we provide a safe and healthy environment for all children (and staff) at Ocean Grove Primary School.

To reduce the spread of germs and protect vulnerable or medically fragile children in our community, we kindly ask that you keep your child home from school if they are unwell.

Over the past few weeks, we have had a high number of students go home unwell. If your child becomes unwell at school, we will contact you to pick them up as soon as possible. We understand this can be inconvenient for working families but are grateful for your support as we endeavour to keep everyone healthy and thriving.

If you are after more information around exclusion from school due to illness, the Department of Health has some wonderful resources in the School exclusion table for primary schools and children’s services.

By working together, we can support our most vulnerable students (and staff) through the winter months.
