Covid




Dear Families,

The current COVID health situation has seen families and staff affected either as close contacts or positive cases. With this in mind, we ask all families to either phone or email if their child/ren are absent for any reason, health or otherwise. It is important for our preschool to be alerted to any confirmed COVID cases that may affect our operational requirements. The NSW Government has now requested that attendance of children to be recorded in detail using a government spreadsheet to record times and dates of attendance for each child.

The weather is cooling and with-it cold symptoms present, if your child is displaying any cold symptoms resting at home is key rather than them trying to manage a full preschool day. A negative RAT test when a child is displaying cold symptoms is still a transmittal illness.

Cold Symptoms

• Runny or stuffy nose.• Sore throat.• Cough.• Congestion.• Slight body aches or a mild headache.• Sneezing.• Low-grade fever.• Generally feeling unwell.

This week is the last week of Term 1. Holiday days are from Monday 8th April to Tuesday 26th April. Tuesday 26th being a public Anzac day holiday.
