Respiratory Illness Alert and Reminder
There has been a significant increase in respiratory illness cases recently among both students and staff at Kinross Wolaroi, including some positive cases of COVID-19.
We have recently seen Orange High School move to a partial remote learning model to manage the high number of their community who are unwell. As we continue to navigate the pandemic and flu season this winter, it is essential that we take every precaution to keep ourselves and those around us safe and well. This includes taking steps to prevent the spread of illness: such as staying home if we have any symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. In this way, we can ensure that we can continue learning face-to-face at school, without interruption.
Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness, such as coughing, sneezing, headaches or a fever, is strongly urged to stay home until well again. Additionally, anyone who has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 should take steps to protect those around them; please wear a mask at school and test regularly until the risk of infection has passed.
Both RAT tests and masks are available free from Senior School Reception and the Junior School Office, for your convenience.
We all have a responsibility to protect the health and well-being of our family and friends. By working together and taking the necessary precautions, we can help prevent the further spread of illness and keep our school a safe and healthy place to learn.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Upcoming parent webinar: Online relationships and consent
14 June 2023
Did you know eSafety research found 7 in 10 young people aged 14-17 have seen sexual images online and 1 in 5 have been asked by someone on the internet to send sexual pictures of themselves?
As parents and caregivers, it's essential to support young people in developing skills that protect their privacy and boundaries online. Learn how you can help build these skills at our upcoming webinar, Online Relationships and Consent: sending nudes and sexting. The webinar covers how to recognise and respond to requests for sexual images, set boundaries and report incidents if they occur.
Remember to reassure young people that it is never their fault if a nude is shared without their consent, and adults can help report and get images removed. Find out how we can help at eSafety.gov.au.
When should you start talking about online safety?
Introducing online safety to children at an early age is essential. Even before they access devices, children learn about tech from parents, carers and other adults in their community.
eSafety's picture book, Swoosh, Glide and Rule Number 5, helps families explore children's everyday technology experiences and highlights safe online practices. The book follows the adventures of a fun family sleepover for Swoosh and Glide with their sugar glider cousins. Use this book to start the conversation about online safety with your children.
