Health Reminders
Welcome back to Term 4!
A few updates from as we head into the warmer months.
Head lice are back
We’re starting to see head lice pop up again, please check your child’s hair regularly and treat promptly if needed. If lice is detected at school, your student will be sent home for treatment, once they have been treated - they can return the next day to school.
Hay fever is among us
We have seen an increase in students presenting to sickbay with hay fever symptoms, including sneezing, scratchy throats, itchy/watery eyes, and nasal congestion.
If your child regularly needs Panadol, antihistamines or other medication during the school day, parents and carers are welcome to drop their medication into the Admin Office.
Please remember that a Medication Authority Form must be completed before medication can be administered at school.
We don’t stock spare general medications, so please make sure your child has what they need for the school day.
Families can monitor daily pollen levels and thunderstorm asthma alerts using the Melbourne Pollen app - Home - Melbourne Pollen
Hot weather reminders
As the weather warms up, please remind your child to:
- Bring a full water bottle and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Apply sunscreen before school.
- 'No hat, no play" Hats are required for Prep- Year 6 for outdoor play. Hats are available for purchase from the front office for $19.95
Please contact sarra.chhabra@education.vic.gov.au if you have any questions about medication at school.
