Reported Illnesses

The School would like to inform parents that there have been several reported cases of Gastro-like symptoms and colds & flus, in all areas of the School.

 

We encourage parents to be vigilant with hygiene processes at home and to make sure that they keep their child at home if needed to stop the spread of illness:

For Gastroenteritis: individuals will need to be isolated, kept home from school, for up to 24 hours after the diarrhea and vomiting has stopped.  

  • For Influenza: individuals will need to be isolated, kept home from school, for up to 5 - 7 days during the height of the symptoms and should only return once the symptoms decrease and fevers subside.

If you suspect that your child is ill, please refer to your regular GP.  Please also make note of the guidelines in respect to school exclusion periods for these illnesses.
