Influenza Season

We are approaching peak influenza season.

We would greatly appreciate if all families could keep in mind the following information:

1. If your child has cold or flu-like symptoms please seek medical attention, limit contact with others.
2. Good general hygiene remains the best defence against infection.  Please encourage your child to regularly wash their hands using soap and cover their nose and mouth if sneezing or coughing.

Please find below some further information on hand washing.

• Washing hands with soap and water is one of the most effective ways to reduce infectious diseases such as gastro or the flu.
• There are many ways you can help your child stay healthy at home and at school.  Visit the Better Health Channel for information and resources to help your child understand the importance of hand hygiene and how they can become a 'Soapy Hero'.  Be a Soapy Hero! - Better Health Channel
