Health Reminders

Students With Asthma 

Students with Asthma are reminded to keep their Reliever on their person or with easy access to it at the College. This is especially important in colder weather and for activities including Cross Country. 

A reminder that Student Asthma Plans are to be updated annually by your treating practitioner / GP. 

Cold and Flu Season

Feeling unwell? It's best to stay at home until symptoms pass so we don't impact other students and staff by coming to school. Flu vaccines are available from GPs and Pharmacies.   

Please register student absences via PAM before 9am or after 9am via email

Thank you to families, students and staff for their support. 

Student Medication 

The Wellbeing of our students is our absolute priority. If your child has a medically diagnosed condition that requires medication to be administered by College Staff, please have your doctor complete a Medical Management Plan and a Medication Authority Form, via the Parent Portal. 

All medication must be in its original packaging and clearly named. Any short-term medication such as antibiotics or medication for pain relief following an injury, the parent may complete the Medication Authority Form. This also applies to all camps and excursions. 

Anaphylaxis and asthma medications are unrestricted and do not require a medication authority form.
