The school has some mushrooms growing in different areas near the boundary of the oval and carpark areas. We have been advised by government representative that these are not death cap mushrooms. We will continue to monitor our playground spaces.

The ACT Chief Health Officer is reminding Canberrans not to eat wild mushrooms after several hospital presentations last week. You should not touch any wild mushrooms with bare hands and should keep children and animals away from them.

Inspections are being conducted across the ACT where death cap mushrooms have previously been identified. If you think you have seen a death cap mushroom in a public area, you can report it to Access Canberra on 13 22 81.
