Policy Updates: Supporting Student Health and Wellbeing
Wyndham Vale Primary School is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all students. We have recently reviewed and updated several key policies that support the health needs of our school community:
- Anaphylaxis Policy – Outlines our procedures for identifying, supporting, and responding to students at risk of severe allergic reactions, including the use of adrenaline autoinjectors and development of Individual Anaphylaxis Management Plans.
- Asthma Policy – Details our response protocols and management plans for students diagnosed with asthma, including the use of personal asthma kits and emergency response procedures.
- First Aid Policy – Explains how staff manage illness and injury at school, the role of our First Aid Officer, and the procedures for responding to both minor and serious incidents.
These policies are available on our school website for families to review. If your child has a medical condition, please ensure the school has an up-to-date action plan and current medication on file.
If you have questions or require support in updating your child’s health information, please contact our First Aid Officer, Jade Hastings, or the school administration.
Thank you
Sal Farfalla
Learning Specialist.
Assemblies:
Assemblies will now take place on Friday afternoons in the school gymnasium, in a face-to-face format. These assemblies will alternate each week:
- Even weeks will feature Foundation to Year 2 (F-2) students
- Odd weeks will feature Years 3-6 students.
The assemblies will begin at 2:10pm and end just before the school day concludes.
We warmly invite parents and carers to attend the assemblies. To ensure smooth access, please enter via the pink (rear of school) and purple (Manuka Grove) gates, which will open at 2:00pm.
Today we had our first F-2 assembly, and it was great to see the students and families in attendance.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our assemblies soon!
