Good morning all. 

At the Porirua campus we are seeing an increasing number of students with gastroenteritis. These symptoms include:

  • tummy cramps
  • diarrhoea
  • nausea
  • vomiting

Please, if you are unwell (student or staff) stay at home until you are well again! This will stop the illness from spreading.  

Please contact Tracy Mitchell, the health nurse, on ext 3130 for further information or, alternatively, you can all Healthline on 0800 611 116, which is available for 24 hours a day.
