Important information

Photographs, Video, Social Media Permission 

At certain times throughout the year, our students may have the opportunity to be photographed or filmed for our school publications, such as the school’s newsletter or website and social media, or to promote the school in newspapers and other media. Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) may also wish to use student photographs/videos in print and online promotional, marketing, media and educational materials.

The school requires parent permission to use their child’s photographs, video or other media platforms.

Permission forms will be sent home this week and there is also a form attached for you to print.

Please return the completed form to your child’s class teacher no later than Wednesday 14th February.

Medical Conditions

If your child requires medication to be taken during school hours, it is important that you complete a ‘Student Medication Request Form’ which is available from the front office.

• Medication is to be delivered to the School Office by the parent/guardian in its original pharmacy labelled container. Please be aware that parents are responsible for delivering prescribed medications to the school and collect it at the end of the day.
• The label on the original medication or a special letter outlining medication from the doctor   must clearly state:

(i) the name of the child
(ii) the dosage and times required

Please ask your pharmacist for this information when the medication is issued.

• All medications are stored in the school’s First Aid cabinet in the Medical Room except where either refrigeration is required (e.g. antibiotics) or in the case of self-administered asthma reliever medication.
• Asthma medication (reliever puffers only) may be held by a child for self-administration, only when parents/guardians have notified the school and given permission via a Asthma Action Medication Form. Preventer medications will be held in the Medical Room.
• It is the parent’s responsibility to collect any ‘out of date’ medication for safe disposal. It is also a parent’s responsibility to collect any unused medication at the completion of treatment.
• Medication Administration Forms for children receiving medications on a regular basis are to be reviewed each term, with a new permission form completed at the start of each year.
• Parents/guardians must notify the School Office and complete a new Medication Administration Form if there are any changes to details such as dosage or type of medication.

If any details have changed, including emergency contacts, medication or amounts of medication to be given, please make us aware of these details at your earliest convenience. 

The form is attatched or available from Mrs Chris Balen at the administration office.

School Banking

School Banking has started again this year and you can find us on Tuesday mornings 8.00am-8.45am in the Pre-Kindy room.  Don't forget for every 10 deposits made your child can choose a reward such as earphones, handballs and pencil cases!  If you are new to the school or are Interested in starting all you need to do is open an account for your child at the Commonwealth Bank in Dianella Plaza then bring their account number to us and start saving!  Remember the school earns commission from every deposit your child makes which goes back into the school to fund things like books, resources and equipment!

We are also looking for 2 new volunteers to take over the role of School Banking Co-Ordinators. It only takes a couple of hours once a week and is really simple to do, you can even change the banking day to suit your schedule!  Please see Mrs Rosie Samuels in the canteen on Monday or Thursday or see both co-ordinators on Tuesday morning during banking time.  Alternatively you can contact Julia Sertorio at sertorioj@gmail.com for more information or with any questions you may have about the role.
