If your child is sick, they must stay at home.
What do I need to do if my child is sick before school?
If your child is sick for any reason, they must stay at home. If a student is sick with flu-like symptoms, they should stay home, go to the doctor and if advised, get tested for COVID-19.
If your child has been tested for COVID-19, please notify the school immediately. The child should remain at home while awaiting the test results. The school MUST be notified of all test results - positive and negative. Students should only return to school once they have fully recovered, and they have medical clearance.
What if my child is unwell at school?
Given the presence of COVID-19 coupled with the commencement of the influenza (flu) season, our school has an important responsibility to provide a safe environment for students and staff. The first symptoms of COVID-19 and flu are similar, in that they both can cause fever, cough, sore/scratchy throat, running nose, fatigue and shortness of breath. When the parent/carer of the student collects their child from school, a letter will be provided to them, which outlines the steps required for the student to be able to return to school.
Your support in keeping our school healthy and safe is appreciated.
All absences must be explained by parents in the Compass portal. There are some outstanding absences, please log in to your Compass Parent Portal and update these. Thank you.
Please make appointments outside school hours, where possible. If your child needs to be collected early for an appointment, a note explaining this is required. This note can be given to the class teacher.
