Important guidelines for students who are sick.

By Sara Quelch | Posted: Monday May 14, 2018

We have had a number of children reported absent from school this term because of sickness, particularly vomiting and diarrhoea. Please be aware that, as per the Ministry of Health guidelines: Students who have had vomiting or diarrhoea should be kept at home until well, and for 48 hours after the last episode of diarrhoea or vomiting.

The Ministry of Health has a good guideline for the incubation period for a range of illnesses if you are unsure.
