Health Centre
Are your emergency contact details up to date?
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I would like to thank all the parents who have sent actions plans and Individual management plans back to school. The health centre continues to update and work on Individual management plans for students who require assistance with any health issue. If your child receives an individual management plan can you please read and return to school at your earliest convenience. If your child has a healthcare need and has not received an individual management plan please do not hesitate to contact the Health centre.
Occasionally, students require medication while they are at school. In order to administer medication to students a Medication Authority form needs to be completed with a parent’s signature. These orders expire after 1 year. Medications are to be provided to the school in original packaging with pharmacy labels intact. Tablet sleeves need to have the full name of the medication and expiry date intact. Please note, Antibiotics prescribed to be taken three times a day are to be taken at home not in the Health Centre. Three times a day medication can be taken before school, after school and before bed – with or without food. Taking medication at home avoids missed doses as they are not forgotten and left at school overnight.
It is vital that the College has up to date contact details for both yourself and listed emergency contacts in case of an emergency or other health issue that the College feels should be communicated to you. Updates to your child's record can easily be done by emailing the college at brookside.p9@edumail.vic.gov.au or by completing the attached form and handing it into the General Office.
