Using XUNO for Absences

Please try to use XUNO to report absences. It is really easy, if your app isn't working, you may need to update the app on your phone. If you are having trouble, please let the office know.

Office Hours

Until further notice, the office hours will be 8:30am - 4:00pm. If you have any queries outside of these hours, please email macedon.ps@education.vic.gov.au and we will respond to your request as soon as we can.

Hats

All students must wear hats outside.  If students do not have a hat while outside at recess or lunch, they will be directed to the rotunda to play. Any navy, wide brimmed hat will suffice, Beleza sell Macedon Primary branded hats. Thank you for your co-operation with this.

First Aid Update

The Department of Education have updated their Administration of Medication policy, please note that Macedon Primary School staff will not: 

• in accordance with Department of Education and Training policy, store or administer analgesics such as aspirin and paracetamol as a standard first aid strategy as they can mask signs and symptoms of serious illness or injury. 

• allow a student to take their first dose of a new medication at school in case of an allergic reaction. This should be done under the supervision of the student’s parents, carers or health practitioner.

• allow use of medication by anyone other than the prescribed student except in a life-threatening emergency, for example if a student is having an asthma attack and their own puffer is not readily available.

A list of policies is available on our webpage https://macedonps.vic.edu.au/about/

Spare clothing

Please pack some spare clothing for your child/ren. We have a limited amount of clothing in sick bay and cannot always give children spare clothing. If you child is excessively wet and muddy you will be contacted and asked to bring in a change of clothes.
