PANDEMIC (H1NI0 2009) - 'swine flu'

Our school has taken the following steps to help prevent the spread of the pandemic:
  • All pupils have been instructed in the 'catch it, kill it, bin it' etiquette.
  • All pupils have been instructed to wash their hands after sneezing or coughing and have been taught a method for same.
  • Anti-bacterial hand wash and paper hand towels are available in all classrooms and toilet facilities.
  • Each class has a supply of tissues. Parents are asked to send a small pack of tissues with their children in their school bags.
