We have had a number of students presenting to the Health Centre with cold-like symptoms.

Please note SA Health recommends that any person who has the symptoms below, even if symptoms are very mild, is tested for COVID-19:

• Fever OR chills (with no alternative illness that explains these symptoms)
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of taste and smell.

Please ensure your daughter stays at home if she is unwell or showing any cold/flu-like symptoms, and does not attend school until she is feeling well again, even if she receives a negative test result.

In the event your daughter presents as unwell while at school, she will be sent to the Health Centre and assessed by the School Nurse. Should your daughter be deemed as unwell, you will be contacted to collect her from school and will be required to keep her at home until she has recovered. We ask that you attend to collect your daughter as soon as possible in these instances.
