Updated Information on Human Swine Flu
As you would be aware, Victoria is now in a modified sustain phase of its plan to manage the impact of H1N1 Influenza (Human Swine Flu) in our community. This means that only children confirmed by a doctor as having the virus will be quarantined. Those sharing a house with a confirmed case will not be required to enter quarantine, unless they too are confirmed as having the virus. Classes who may have been in contact with a confirmed case will no longer be quarantined, and schools will no longer be partially or fully closed. Michael Phillips Principal
