COVID-19 Advice to families when a student is unwell at school
Please see the procedures below if your child presents unwell at school.
The first symptoms of COVID-19 and flu are similar, in that they both can cause fever, cough, sore/scratchy throat and shortness of breath.
Throughout this period, we ask that you keep your child at home if they are unwell. In the event your child is unwell at school the normal processes apply: Your child will be cared for at school in the sickbay by a qualified first aid officer, while they await collection from a parent/guardian/carer.
When the parent/guardian/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. These steps include gaining a medical clearance certificate (where possible) and only return to school once the student has fully recovered.
We are advising you of these measures so that you may discuss them with your child in the event this situation arises.
We thank you for your support in keeping our school community safe.
