Please take note of the health advice offered in the alert and use it to make an informed decision on whether your child should attend the carnival.

As per the media release from NSW Health students who have had diarrhoea should:

• avoid swimming for at least two weeks after your symptoms resolve

• avoid sharing towels for at least two weeks after your symptoms resolve
