We currently have some infectious illnesses to be mindful of in the school and wider community. There are currently high numbers of COVID-19 and gastroenteritis, which can be spread quite quickly. With children in our school with compromised immune systems, we need to continue to ask that children stay home when they are unwell, and remain home until they are no longer contagious. There are different guidelines for infectious diseases at www.health.gov.au, and you can also speak with your GP for advice. We often email fact sheets from the health department to families when we share information about infectious diseases. The main message is to please keep your child home when they are unwell until they are well again.
