Unwell Students
Whooping Cough
As advised, we currently have confirmed cases of Whooping Cough within the school community. We are asking all our parents to be vigilant in regards to this highly contagious illness. Should children show symptoms please seek medical advice.
Please see the information contained in the fact sheet for symptoms.
Unwell Students (Cough, runny nose, fever,vomiting etc.) If your child is unwell please keep them at home. If your child has vomited the night before, please keep them at home, even if you think they are okay. The NSW Health guidelines suggest that students who have vomited should be kept at home for 48 hours to help prevent the spread of illness through the school. Please see the guideline from NSW Health regarding vomiting. https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Factsheets/viral-gastroenteritis.pdf
We appreciate your co-operation in these matters.
