Promoting health, supporting student health care needs and reducing health risks are important to everyone at our school.
Prescribed medication
If your child is being prescribed medication that needs to be taken during the day, please inform your classroom teacher or office staff so that arrangements can be made for the medication to be administered.
Allergies
If your child has been diagnosed with an allergy or allergies, it is important that you tell the principal as soon as you become aware of it, or if your child's allergy changes. If your child is diagnosed at risk of an anaphylactic reaction an individual health care plan is developed that includes strategies to minimise the risk of a severe allergic reaction. Please see your GP or our friendly office staff for more information on this.
Managing complex health needs
An individual health care plan is developed for each student with complex health needs. The plan supports students with severe asthma, type 1 diabetes, epilepsy, anaphylaxis and those at risk of an emergency or requiring the administration of specific health care procedures. Please see your GP or our friendly office staff for more information on this.
Head lice
Head lice outbreaks sometimes occur at school. If your child has head lice please treat your child and inform us. Daily combing of dry hair with conditioner can get rid of head lice. You should continue to send your child to school.
Sun safety
Our school takes sun safety seriously. Children learn about how to protect themselves from the sun's damaging UV rays, and our school implements a range of sun protection strategies.
