We are currently experiencing a high number of students complaining of various ailments. Obviously in our climate, this time of year brings with it many unwanted germs. Should your child be complaining of any stomach pains, sore throats, etc or generally unwell, please keep them at home. It is advisable that if your child has had any vomiting or diarrhoea, that they remain at home for 24 hours after the last episode. Similarly, with other illnesses, please ensure your child has recovered before returning them to school.
This consideration not only prevents the spread of illness to other students but also to staff. Please encourage your children to wash their hands regularly and to cover their mouths when they cough. It is amazing how some simple good habits can help us protect each other.
Should your child be absent from school for any reason, please contact the school as soon as possible to avoid letters being sent home. If your child needs to be away from school for a lengthy time to recover from illness, again contact the school as soon as possible and we can arrange for some work to be sent home.
Thank You!
