First Aid 2023

This week we have students suffering from Gastroenteritis (gastro). Unfortunately we have had cases of severe vomiting where by the students have needed to stay home for 2-3 days.

Most children do not need to take any medicine for gastro however it is important to drink plenty of water to avoid becoming dehydrated. Gastro is easily spread and it is important to please keep your child home to rest and not spread the germ.

Signs and Symptoms 

Common symptoms are generally not feeling well and not want to eat or drink, have diarrhoea, vomit within the first 24-48, temperature and have stomach pain.

As gastro is very infectious, students with symptoms should not attend school until 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.

We thank you for your ongoing support in keeping our community healthy.
