Swine Flu Information

Principal's Update

The lastest information from the Tasmanian Government is that any child who has departed Victoria, USA, Mexico, Canada, Panama or Japan for return to Tasmania between 8 June and 14 June needs to be excluded from returning to MacKillop Catholic College for seven days from the date of departure.
For example: If your child departed Victoria on Wednesday 10 June he or she will not be able to return to College until Wednesday 17th June 2009.

This exclusion applies whether or not your child is showing any flu like symptoms.

If your child has flu like symptoms please call 1800 358 362 as soon as possible for further advice.

Sally Towns,
