Communicable disease guidelines

School staff have a key role in preventing the transmission of diseases in the school environment.

While it is often difficult to prevent the transmission of common respiratory (colds/flu) and gastroenteritis infections that occur, every effort should be made to minimise the spread of infection by encouraging:

staff and children at school to stay at home in the early stages of illness as at this stage they can be infectious and shed the virus, bacteria or parasite through coughing, sneezing, contaminating surfaces and personal contact
school staff and students who are ill should not return to work/school until they are symptom free if they have a cold or flu and for at least 24 hours if they have had gastroenteritis
staff and children at school who have had gastroenteritis should not return to work until they are symptom free for at least 48 hours
parents to seek medical advice if their child has ongoing symptoms of illness.
