Car Park - Melba Ave 

For safety, students are not to be dropped off in the Melba Avenue (Staff) car park.  This a parking facility only for staff.

The STADIUM car park is designated for student drop off and collection.

We also ask that parents and carers please do not block the driveways of the factories in Melb Avenue, before and after school and during school hours.  Thank you.

Medical Action Plans

As per Department Policy, each student with a medical condition must have an action plan at school.  

It is essential that we know how to support your child's health, and can manage their condition in the case of an emergency. 

Once restrictions ease for sports, excursions and camps to resume, students CANNOT go off campus for these events if we do not have a current action plan if they have diagnosed conditions.  

If your son/daughter has a medical condition, please ensure that the school has a current (dated within 1 year) action plan at school. 

Please ensure your doctor SIGNS AND STAMPS the plan, and return it to school at the School Office or via email as soon as possible. 

If you are unsure if you need an action plan or if your plan has expired, please ring the school on (03) 9735 5644.  

If your son/daughter no longer suffers from a medical condition, we still require a SIGNED AND STAMPED letter from the doctor confirming this, and clearly stating they do not have the condition, to remove their condition from our records.
