PARENT REMINDERS
Medical Action Plans
As per Department Policy, each student with a medical condition must have an action plan at school.
It is essential that we know how to support your child's health, and can manage their condition in the case of an emergency.
If your son/daughter has a medical condition, please ensure that the school has a current (dated within 1 year) action plan at school.
Please ensure your doctor SIGNS AND STAMPS the plan and return it to the School Office or via email as soon as possible.
If you are unsure if you need an action plan or if your plan has expired, please ring the school on 9735 5644.
If your son/daughter no longer suffers from a medical condition, we still require a SIGNED AND STAMPED letter from the doctor confirming this, and clearly stating they do not have the condition, to remove their condition from our records.
Student Absences
Parents and Carers to assist us to fulfil our legal attendance obligations, please approve any unexplained absences your son/daughter may have still outstanding on Compass.
You can also leave a message on the School Absence Line or email the relevant Sub School Assistants if you cannot approve on Compass.
Please ensure you include your child’s name and the reason for absence eg: Parent Choice, Medical/Illness/Appointment, Holiday, Refusal etc.
