CF Education at Your School
Having a child with cystic fibrosis (CF) in your class is very manageable with a few simple considerations. Through open communication with parents and carers, staff education, practical planning and a supportive school environment, students with CF can fully participate in classroom learning, sport, excursions and all aspects of school life.
