Health Centre
Influenza & other respiratory illnesses
With the cooler weather now here, we have already had some reports of Influenza and other respiratory illnesses.
Please keep your children home if they are unwell as this will aid recovery and minimise infection to our whole school community.
If your child receives a diagnosis from your doctor of a Flu/COVID/RSV or any other viral illnesses, please let the school know so we can be aware of the presence of this virus and take steps to minimise the risk of spread.
If children are sent over to me unwell and are waiting for parent collection, your child will be asked to wear a mask to minimise spread to other users of the health centre.
Classrooms and all learning spaces will continue to promote the use of hand sanitisers and good respiratory hygiene.
Please see the below information sheets from the RCH Kids Health Info. This is an excellent resource for any health information for families to use.
Thanks,
Julie Zuk
