KEEPING OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY HEALTHY

The health and wellbeing of our students and staff remain our top priority. With this in mind, we kindly urge you to please keep your child at home if they are feeling unwell.

If your child is experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, it is essential that they stay home until they recover. 

We understand that it can be challenging to rearrange schedules and childcare arrangements when your child is sick, but prioritising their health and the wellbeing of our school community is paramount.  

By working together we can create a safer and healthier school environment for everyone.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
