Chicken Pox
Chicken Pox has been reported in the Castle Unit. Chicken Pox is spread by airborne droplets produced by coughing or sneezing or with fluid from the blisters.
The incubation period (time between becoming infected and developing symptoms) is 2-3 weeks but may be longer.
The infectious period is from 2 days before the rash appears until at least 5 days after the rash first appears and all blisters have crusted over. Students are to be excluded from school until all blisters have dried (usually 5 days).
People at high risk of complications from Chicken Pox include pregnant women, young babies, people with an immune deficiency or people with leukaemia.
Symptoms to watch out for are: slight fever and cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash. The rash is more noticeable on the trunk than on the limbs and may affect the scalp, inside of the mouth, nose and throat. The rash is usually itchy.
French Day
On Friday 4/8 students and staff will be participating in French Day. Parents/caregivers and friends are invited to attend the two assemblies during the day which will be held in the Gym. The first assembly is at 9:00am with a welcome to French Day and performances. At 2:00pm classes to present work they have done during the day.
At recess students can purchase French cuisine from $0.50 upwards (on sale outside the Canteen).
We look forward to seeing you on Friday.
