First Aid Centre
We hope everyone is enjoying Term 1 of the new school year! A special welcome to all the new Year 7 students, who have already been on their first school camp.
Year 7 Camp
If you provided medications for your child for camp but have not collected them, please come to the First Aid Centre to pick them up.
Drink, drink, drink!
We remind all students of the importance of bringing their own water bottle to school every day. It is important to keep hydrated during the school day, especially during HOT weather in this end of summer period. Dehydration can often lead to headaches and dizziness. This can be avoided by staying hydrated and drinking adequate water throughout the day.
Medical Conditions and Action Plans
At the start of each school year, students who have been diagnosed with anaphylaxis, asthma, severe allergies, diabetes, or epilepsy, need to have their relevant Action Plans supplied to the First Aid Centre, along with any relevant medication. These plans need to be completed by a Medical Practitioner every 12 months, as per the Department of Education (DET) guidelines. Action Plans can be provided by the First Aid Centre, or alternatively downloaded in the “Documents” section of Compass.
Additionally, if a student’s allergy requires treatment with an antihistamine, please ensure this medication is supplied to the First Aid Centre and in date.
Please feel free to contact us in the First Aid Centre if you have any student health concerns, questions, or medical updates.
Take care everyone!
