The Weeks Notes

Thank you to all parents and members of the community who have supported our children and teachers in any way this term. I wish all our children and staff and restful and relaxing holiday and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 22 July, 2019.

Rebuild Update

The trench diggers return to Cotswold during the school holiday period laying new electrical mains to Canterbury Blocks. For this reason the school gates will be locked during the school holiday period.

Staying Well During the School Holidays

Canterbury is continuing to experience a significant wave of influenza, with 455 hospitalisations relating to complications from influenza already this year.

With school holidays starting next week, Canterbury DHB wants to remind parents that there are some simple ways to stop the spread and how they can look after themselves and their whānau.

We need your help to protect the most vulnerable people in our communities from the flu, including:

• pregnant women
• older people and particularly those living in aged care facilities
• anyone with a long-term health condition such as heart or respiratory disease and most cancers
• children aged four years and under who have been hospitalised for respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness.

If you have any questions, please contact communications@cdhb.health.nz.
