There have been confirmed cases of Influenza, RSV and COVID 19 within the College.
These are contagious viral infections that can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications, including pneumonia. Virus’ spread by contact with fluids from coughs and sneezes.
The common symptoms are fever, a dry cough, body aches, feeling extremely weak and tired, sore throat and a runny or stuffy nose.
As these viruses are highly contagious, the College is taking every precaution to prevent further spread of the infections. If your child is unwell and/or showing flu/COVID like symptoms at school, they will be isolated and parents/emergency contacts will be called to collect them. We ask for your cooperation in keeping your child home if they are unwell and showing flu/COVID like symptoms.
The best defences against these viral infections are practising good hand hygiene, being up to date with available vaccinations and isolating if suspected or symptomatic of influenza or COVID.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Jalna Holmes, Health Centre Coordinator, on 54211200.
