Lunchtime Basketball Fun
On Friday at lunch, we held a 4 on 4 basketball competition with a staff team competing against student teams. The students, teachers and spectators had great fun with some of the teachers not being very competitive at all......
Doctors in Schools
Doctors in schools clinic is cancelled for the first week of term 3, Wednesday 14 July. Any students who had appointments booked on this day will have their appointment rescheduled to Wednesday 21 July.
Flu Vaccines for Secondary Students
We are able to provide flu vaccines for secondary students in our Doctors in Schools clinic. Some students will be eligible for a free flu vaccine if they fit the criteria set by the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). The criteria for a free vaccine include:
- all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged from six months
- all people aged from six months with medical conditions putting them at an increased risk of severe influenza and it’s complications e.g. Cardiac disease, chronic respiratory disease (severe asthma), chronic neurological conditions, immunocompromising conditions, diabetes and other metabolic disorders, renal disease, hematological disorders, children aged six months to 10 years on long term aspirin therapy
- pregnant women (during any stage of pregnancy)
Students who do not fit the criteria will need to pay for the vaccine. The cost is $14.00 and must be paid in cash with the correct money at the clinic at the time of the appointment. There are no EFTPOS facilities available at the clinic and no change can be provided. Students will receive a receipt upon payment.
To book in for the flu vaccine, students need to book an appointment at the school office (please advise that the appointment is for a flu vaccine).
Doctors in Secondary Schools Program
Our Doctors in Secondary Schools program is available for all secondary students to access free (bulk-billed), confidential health care at school. This is a fantastic service which students can access for any of their health care needs including asthma/anaphylaxis plans, catch-up immunisations, mental/emotional health and any other medical concerns no matter how big or small. Students can see the school doctor for any reason that they would see their usual GP.
The rooms will be open every Wednesday during the school term from 9am – 1pm. Students can make appointments by contacting Yvonne in the general office or they can ask a teacher or wellbeing staff member to make the appointment for them – the only details required to make an appointment will be the student’s name and date of birth.
Parents are welcome to attend appointments if the student wishes.
Lost Property
We have a LOT of jumpers in our secondary lost property. If your child is missing a jumper please tell them to ask at the main office. Please ensure that uniform items have student names on them so that we can return them if found.
