Further to information from the Ministries of Education and Health that we have forwarded to you could you please ensure that you:

• Do not send your daughter to school if she has any symptoms of a cold or flu. This includes a running nose, sneezing and coughing.
• If your daughter presents at the school sick bay with any of these symptoms, we will ring you to come and get her – please ensure that she is picked up from the school as quickly as possible.

We will be encouraging our staff to stay away from school if they are showing signs of illness such as coughs and colds. We ask that you please do the same with your daughters. Colds and flus are common in schools and by staying away, seeking medical attention and practicing good hygiene, we can all keep any spread of illness to a minimum.
