Hayfever Medication

Spring is in the air . . . and so are the pollens! During the months of October to December, asthma and hay fever symptoms increase due to airborne grass pollens.

If your child suffers from asthma, could you please make sure that he/she has their relieving medication and spacer with them in their school bag.

If your child is prone to hay fever, please give them their medication before coming to school. We do not keep hay fever medication at the school. 

If your child does exhibit any hay fever symptoms during the school day and cannot be treated, they will be required to be collected.

Parents are more than welcome to leave hay fever medication at the school for their child as long as they have signed a consent form and provided the medication in its original packaging and clearly named. This medication will be kept in the sick bay.

If you would like to have medication at the school, please fill out the form below and return it and the relevant medication to the office.

Gotcha 4 Life

On October 6 some of the level 6 leaders will be holding a fundraiser. 

Proceeds will be going to a youth mental health charity called Gotcha4Life to help spread positive mental health. 

There is a raffle (the winning prize is a BIG jar of lollies) that will keep going at the very start of term 4, not for long though so make sure you get your tickets! The prices are 3 for $1 and 1 ticket for 50c. 

On the day, we will have zooper doopers and sausages available for sale.

Meanwhile, we will be hosting a 6 hour row with 4 rowing machines to simulate the 24 hour row that Gotcha4Life hosts. 

Special thanks to Club Lime for providing us with rowers.

We would highly appreciate if you donated here: https://24hourrow.com.au/t/jellsparkpsrowers
