🌟 Flu Season Reminder 🤧🦠
Flu season is here, and we all have an important role to play in keeping our school community healthy!
Good hygiene at home can help reduce the spread of flu and other illnesses.
🧼 Wash hands regularly with soap and water
🤧 Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or their elbow
🗑️ Put used tissues straight in the bin
🙅‍♀️ Avoid sharing cups, food, utensils or personal items
🧴 Use hand sanitiser when soap and water aren't available
🧽 Regularly clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces at home
If your child is unwell: 💙
Please keep them at home to rest and recover. This also helps prevent illness from spreading to other students and staff. Children should return to school when they are well enough to participate in the school day and in line with current health advice.
If your child becomes unwell while at school, families may be contacted to collect them.
Thank you for helping us keep our Bundaberg Special School community safe, healthy and happy!
