All medication (with the exception of Ventolin) must come to the office with a note or Medication Request Form. 

All asthma and allergy Action Plans need to be updated every 12 months by your child's GP and forwarded to the office. 

Any queries about Medical Action Plans or medication please call the office.

Covid-19 Update

There is at present an increase in community transmission of COVID-19 in Victoria.

You can help us keep our school as safe as possible by taking two important steps:

  1. Ensure your COVID-19 vaccinations are up to date. Information on how and where to get vaccinated is available on the Get vaccinated webpage.
     
  2. If your child shows symptoms of COVID-19, please ensure they stay home and get  tested. 
    The easiest way to test is to use a rapid antigen test (RAT).

You can buy RATs at supermarkets, pharmacies and other retailers.

 

If your child has symptoms but tests negative, please ensure they stay home until they no longer have symptoms.

 

If the RAT test result is positive, please ensure they stay home for at least 5 days and until there are no more symptoms.

 

Thank you for your support – these steps will help us all stay well.
