Health Centre Update
Wantirna College
As we all prepare for the summer holidays, we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
Please remind all students who have collected medical packs from the Health Centre to ensure they return these supplies to the Health Centre on their first day back at school.
Any student that is asthmatic or has a known anaphylaxis or allergy must supply an updated Management Plan to Wantirna College. This paperwork requires completion as per the Department of Education guidelines and should be returned to the school at the beginning of the 2024 school year. It is recommended that all Management Plans are reviewed by a medical practitioner annually. Action Plans can be accessed via the following links or under the documentation section of Compass.
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis:
Action Plan for Asthma:

Copies can also be collected directly from the Health Centre.
We would also like to remind everyone that medication that is or may be required during school hours must be supplied to the Health Centre and taken under the supervision of Health Centre staff. Please contact Health centre staff if you need to discuss any student medication requirements.
Thank you to all the students, parents and carers who have continued to promptly provide updated medications and paperwork upon request by Health Centre staff.
Have a healthy and happy summer holidays and don’t forget to:
Slip on covering clothing
Slop on sunscreen
Slap on a hat
Seek shade
Slide on sunglasses
Please contact us if you have any student health concerns, questions, or medical updates.
Take care!
