Medical Information Confirmation for Parents of Years 9, 10, and 11 Students
Parents of students in Years 9, 10, and 11 are required to check and confirm that the medical information on file is accurate. The next time these parents log in to PAM, they will receive a notification prompting them to confirm the medical details. This notification will appear each time they log in until confirmation is completed.
Please note that parents of students in Years 7, 8, and 12 are not included in this request, as they were previously asked to verify medical information for upcoming camps.
