Adhering to Public Health guidelines has never been so important. It is also extremely important that children who are unwell remain at home.
Please remind your child/ren of the importance of hand hygiene and coughing and sneezing etiquette. At this stage all should be familiar with the use of hand sanitisers. Staff will reinforce these measures with the children.
Coughing or spitting deliberately in someones direction and the spreading of rumours about those with or suspected to have Covid will not be tolerated and will be dealt with by our Code of Discipline.
