REMINDER: Medical Management Plans & Medications

As always, the health and safety of the students in our care at Overnewton is a priority.

One part of that commitment is through the management of medical conditions. New Medical Management Plans are to be completed every year during Term 4 in preparation for the following school year. Completed forms and all corresponding medication/s (including asthma) will need to be returned directly to the Campus Nurse in the First Aid Room. A heartfelt thank you to all those families who have already done so. If you have not yet supplied the 2026 information and supplies, please do so ASAP. If your child no longer requires a management plan, please indicate this in writing to the Campus Nurse, to ensure our records are up to date. 

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the nurses at your child's campus:

Student Withdrawals from the College

As per our enrolment policy, the College requests families to provide one full term's notice if they plan to withdraw their child. We kindly ask that if you are considering transferring your child to another school, you notify us as soon as possible. This early notification will ensure that we can adequately support the students leaving, making a smooth transition for them, and facilitating a seamless process. Our aim is to also support both our current families and prospective families who are eager to join our vibrant community. We have a significant number of students on waitlists for many year levels, and your early notification will greatly aid us in making well-informed decisions regarding enrolment placements.

Please use the link to formally notify the College of your child's withdrawal

We genuinely appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Sarah Brook, College Registrar on 9334 0142 or email
