Asthma Week

A message from Asthma Australia:

This Asthma Week (September 1-7) Asthma Australia is asking parents to help flip the script and Attack Asthma for their child. It’s time we Attack Asthma before the symptoms start! 

Asthma is one of the leading causes of children ending up in hospital. New research by Asthma Australia shows that while most parents feel like they are confident in managing their child’s asthma, nearly two thirds live in constant fear of an asthma attack. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

A daily preventer can help keep your child's asthma under control, reducing the chance of an attack. This means less time feeling sick or in the hospital and more time for them to just be a kid. Instead of waiting for symptoms like wheezing or difficulty breathing, use a preventer every day to help your child breathe normally.

A message from Mordialloc College:

If your student has diagnosed Asthma, please visit the Asthma Australia site, mentioned above.

Please ensure that you have provided us with an up to date Asthma Action Plan, completed and signed by your child’s medical practitioner. It is imperative that we have this on file so that we are able to provide the most suitable care should an Asthma attack occur during school hours. 

For further information on our Asthma care at Mordialloc College, please refer to our Asthma Policy. Other health-related policies can also be found on our website.
