H1N1 FLU UPDATES ;)
UPDATED 4.00pm 24 June 2009.
As of yesterday, the Cheras Campus will close for the rest of the week. School will resume on Monday 29 June. Please continue to check this space everyday in case of further changes.
So far, 2 students, one from Form 4 Sc 2 and another from Form 4 Commerce, Cempaka Cheras, have been tested positive for the H1N1 virus.The first student, diagnosed over the weekend, has recovered fully, and the second was just diagnosed yesterday evening.There are still no cases in Cempaka Damansara as of today.
The Secondary School has gone into Cempaka@Home mode starting today.
This means that lessons will still continue from home via the VLE.
Cempaka@Home Update
DAY 1
The VLE has been very sluggish today, mainly due to the 40-odd concurrent active chatrooms. This caused many not to be able to log into the system. After some technical tweaks, access improved tremendously and as of 3.00pm, the system managed to host more than 700 students and teachers successfully.
We aim for Day 2 to be much better. Here's our plan:
1. We are moving the chatrooms from the VLE to Skype (an online tool that allows you to chat/audio/video conference).
2. Continue to visit the VLE for your "lesson packages" as well as to read up on the latest Cempaka@Home updates.
1. FAME Production preparations have been suspended for the rest of the week and will resume on Monday 29 June. Please take this opportunity to rest up and get ready for intensive rehearsals next week. * omg! production rehearsal suspended?!?! how about our rehearsal next week? aiksss~*2. CIS Term Examinations have been postponed.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW
1. Secondary School Only: Download the Student Manual. (WIll be posted here shortly).
Cempaka@Home starts tomorrow morning at 8.00am.
2. Remain calm. The symptoms above do not necessarily indicate that one has the H1N1 flu virus. Even if one has been diagnosed with the virus, it is reasonable to expect a full recovery from the defence mounted by your own immune system. Remain sensible. Friends who may display these symptoms need your understanding, support and level-mindedness. It is counter-productive (not to mention hurtful) to "sensationalise" news and spread gossip. Do not throw accusations of having symptoms at each other. Each student should be sensible enough to monitor their own symptoms and signs.
GENERAL HEALTH TIPS1. Take good care of your health.
It is important to maintain a strong immune system. Eat well (and regularly), have enough sleep, drink plenty of water throughout the day and get some exercise.
2. Wash your hands regularly.
Wash your hands thoroughly in warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds and then dry them carefully for at least 20seconds. Do this regularly.
3. Cover coughs and sneezes
Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away immediately into a rubbish bin.
