Health authorities contacted the school and recommended they close for 48 hours, including to students of essential workers and staff.
"If you were intending on sending your child/children tomorrow (Tuesday) because you or your family members are essential workers, we are sorry for the inconvenience that the closing of the school may cause," a Facebook post said.
"We will keep you updated as soon as we have further updates."
The Redland City Bulletin has contacted the school for comment and is awaiting a response.
