First Aid Reminders
All families
Immunisations
Thursday 11 June – Year 10
Thursday 18 June – Year 7
Nurses from Knox Council will soon be attending the College to administer the scheduled Year 7 and Year 10 immunisations.
We kindly remind all parents/carers of students in these year levels to complete the electronic consent form via Compass. Consent must be submitted through the provided link prior to the immunisation date.
To assist with the vaccination process, students are asked to wear short sleeves underneath their jumpers on the day of immunisations.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Knox Immunisation Services on
9298 8165.
Catch-up immunisation sessions will be arranged at a later date for students who are unable to attend school on the scheduled dates.
Flu Season
We would like to remind all families of the impact Influenza (flu) can have on our school and the wider community. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can range from mild to severe. While anyone can contract the flu, young children, older adults, and people with certain medical conditions are at greater risk of serious complications.
To help protect our school community, we ask that students who are unwell remain at home. To further reduce the spread of influenza, colds, and COVID-19, students are encouraged to:
Wash and sanitise their hands regularly.
Avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
Stay home if they are feeling unwell, until symptoms have resolved.
Vaccination remains the best protection against Influenza. Flu vaccinations can be booked through local GPs and pharmacies.
If your child becomes unwell while at school, parents/guardians will be contacted and asked to collect their child from the First Aid Centre.
Thank you for your support in helping keep our community healthy and happy.
