This has been around for a while now but is well worth a look. Many thanks to Maree Cave who sent it in. (Maree feels that Huntley certainly doesn't kill creativity!)

Swine Flu
Huntley School has it’s own pandemic plan and this means that we have systems in place to help us cope if the outbreak becomes more severe. The most important thing you can do as parents and caregivers is reinforce these messages to your children:
· Ensure your children wash and dry their hands thoroughly and regularly – especially before meals and after toileting.
· Always use a disposable tissue when coughing or sneezing and discard it in a closed rubbish bin.
If your child has flu-like symptoms, please keep them home until a doctor or nurse has checked them and okayed them to return to school. Swine flu symptoms are similar to seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have also reported diarrhoea and vomiting.
Families travelling overseas are asked to monitor their son’s health upon return and not send them back to school if he or anyone in the family is showing any flu like symptoms. They should keep their son at home for a week before return.
We’re updating our emergency contact details for all students so if yours have changed please let the Office know.
