WA Meningococcal W Immunisation Program
The 2020 WA Meningococcal W Immunisation program will be offered at the College by the local School Health Immunisation nurses. These vaccinations will be offered free to all year 10 students commencing term 2.
The Meningococcal W Immunisation program has been launched in response to the increase in meningococcal W infection. Some of the highest rates of meningococcal carriage and illness occur among 15-19 year olds. Once infected, this age group can transmit bacteria to people who are at an increased risk of infection, including young children. It is expected that providing the meningococcal W (Men W) vaccine to this group will reduce the spread of this potentially life threatening infection within the WA community.
If you have any queries regarding the program please contact Sally Moir- School Based Immunisation Coordinator on 9842 7526. Vaccinations will also be available through our community based Immunisation clinic at Warden Avenue. Phone 9892 2499 for an appointment.
Teen Triple P
Parenting teenagers can be tough; so life at home can be a little strained. Maybe your 13-year-old son grunts instead of speaking to you. Or your 14-year-old daughter wants to go to parties with people you don’t even know. It’s not that you’ve got a 'wild' kid. You would just like to make sure things don’t get out of hand. Teen Triple P can help address everyday concerns, such as how to encourage responsible behaviour, improve family relationships, deal with independence or manage problems at school or with friends. Speak to your school or local School Health Nurse, Paula Stretton on 0427922 663 to enquire about the Teen Triple P online program and register an interest in attending an online parenting program. Here are some Teen Triple P tips and strategies that are included in the program.
