Chickenpox

stethiscope

We have received a report of a student contracting Chickenpox. 

Chickenpox is a contagious viral infection causing an itchy blister like rash on the skin. Please monitor your children for possible symptoms and seek medical advice for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Students cannot return to school until they have a medical certificate indicating they are no longer contagious. The student affected is undergoing treatment, however may have been in contact with some of our other students before being diagnosed. Therefore I am taking the precaution of notifying all parents. The following link provides more information for parents and carers https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/infectious/factsheets/pages/chickenpox.aspx

. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact the school on 4325 2110.
