Unwell children attending school
We are currently experiencing a variety of contagious illness throughout the school, eg, gastroenteritis and influenza. Term 3 has seen an extraordinary number of students and teaching staff away ill and this situation is not being helped as children are being sent back to school before they are well enough. For the well-being of all students and staff please do not send your child back to school until you are sure they are healthy enough to return. Thank you for your cooperation.
