WHS in Focus – Good Hygiene, Good Prevention

While Covid-19 is not currently a threat to our community, it may be an appropriate time to remind students and staff of good hygiene practices in our school.

Please see below advice from the Australian Department of Health and the attached posters.

How can we help prevent the spread of a virus and bacteria?

Practising good hand hygiene and sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence against most viruses:

• Wash hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating and after going to the toilet 
• Cover coughs and sneezes, dispose of tissues and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser 
• If unwell, avoid contact with others (touching, kissing, hugging and other contact).
• If your child is showing flu like symptoms please arrange a Covid test and keep your child home until they have received a negative test.
