MEASLES - a message from GBHS's Nurse Team:
As you may be aware, there has been a confirmed case of measles in Auckland over the weekend. With active measles cases increasing around the world and falling vaccination rates, New Zealand is at very high risk of a measles outbreak.
The Health and Wellbeing of our school community is important to us and we are here to support you. Phone: 817-8173 ext 253 to speak with one of our friendly school nursing team.
