Update for Waltham Families

Impetigo (school sores) are doing the rounds in Canterbury Schools.

Impetigo is a common skin infection that causes blisters, often on the face around the nose or mouth, but they can be anywhere on the body where the skin has been damaged in some way, eg. cuts or scrapes.

Please read the information brochure attached (provided to schools by the Ministry of Health) that outlines some important information.
