We wish to advise you that a student in our school community is currently receiving medical treatment for Leukaemia. This student will be attending school on occasion while recovering from and undergoing treatment.
As a consequence of treatment, this student’s ongoing health is at risk if they come into contact with infectious illnesses, in particular; Whooping Cough, Shingles, Chicken Pox, Measles or Mumps.
If your child is suspected of having one of these illnesses it is very important that they do not attend school.
It is also important that while your child is unwell, that they remain at home until they are no longer contagious. Information on infectious conditions can be found on national health websites eg. www.health.gov.au or alternatively contact your local GP.
If your child has Whooping Cough, Shingles, Chicken Pox, Measles or Mumps or is suspected of having an illness, then please contact the school immediately. This will allow the school to assess the probable contact and therefore exposure of our student to the disease. Notification can then be given to the parents and medical specialists.
As a school community we value your support in relation to the wellbeing of all of our students. Please do not hesitate to contact Ms Jocelyn Burns if you have any questions.
