STUDENTS WITH ASTHMA:

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) policy requires that every student with asthma attending the school have a written Asthma Action Plan completed and signed by the child’s medical practitioner, this plan will help your child to participate in school activities safely. A copy of your child’s Asthma Action Plan must be provided to the school

 We have emergency asthma first aid medication to be used as a backup for when students may not have their own puffer and spacer with them at the time, but ask that Parents/Guardians ensure their children have an adequate supply of appropriate asthma medication (including a spacer).

 It is vital that staff know what to do for your child in an asthma emergency. With this in mind, it is extremely important that we have an up to date asthma action plan and current contact details for parents and guardians. It is also very important that you provide the school with a number of emergency contacts.
