Seasonal Asthma

Check your child's asthma plan

With hayfever season upon us, some students may be experiencing an increase in asthma symptoms. If your child experiences asthma - even infrequently - you should ensure that they bring their inhaler to school and that their symptoms and recommended treatment are logged on an Asthma Action Plan (see your doctor) and provided to the school. This means that should they experience asthma symptoms at school, we are able to treat them in the most appropriate and efficient way possible. 

If students are experiencing asthma-like symptoms at school, they should report to first aid or a nearby teacher immediately. On days with a high risk for seasonal asthma, susceptible students are encouraged to spend break times in indoor spaces such as the Library, Atrium and Main Building and lunchtime clubs, or to report to their sub-school office for advice and monitoring.
