communicable Diseases

To help keep our school community healthy, the WA Health Department provides guidelines on how to manage common childhood illnesses. These guidelines explain:

• How long a child is infectious

• When they should stay home

• Whether contacts (siblings, classmates) need to be excluded

• Key points for parents

If your child is unwell, please keep them home and seek medical advice where needed.

Key:

• Infectious Period: When a child can spread the illness

• Exclusion: How long a child must stay home

• Contacts: Whether other children need to stay home
