First Aid 

Hayfever Management

We are currently seeing a high number of students presenting to First Aid with hay fever symptoms, ranging from mild discomfort to severe reactions.

Hay fever can significantly affect a student's comfort, concentration, and ability to learn, particularly during peak allergy season. 

If your child is prone to hay fever, we encourage you to take preventative measures before school each morning, including administering their usual antihistamine as advised by your healthcare professional.

Once symptoms become severe, they can be much more difficult to manage at school. When students do not have their required medication available, our First Aid staff often need to contact parents to arrange treatment, which can delay relief and may require a parent to attend school.

You can help by managing symptoms early and ensuring any required medication is available at school.

If your child will be attending a camp this term and is prone to hay fever, please provide the First Aid Team with a current Medication Plan and the appropriate antihistamine medication. This will help ensure their camp experience is not impacted by unmanaged hay fever symptoms.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep students comfortable, healthy, and ready to learn.

End of  year First Aid Notice

We would like to say thank you to parents for working together with us in regards to the care and wellbeing of the students throughout this year. Your understanding and support with school requirements and policies help us ensure that students’ needs are met to the highest possible standard.

Collection of medications

As the conclusion of the 2026 school year is rapidly approaching, we wish to advise you that we do not store student medications here at the College over the long school holiday period.  

All medications must be collected from the First Aid Room on or before the final day of school. This is particularly relevant to Senior students as they complete their school year before the official end of Term.

Updating Care Plans

Medication Plans, Asthma Action Plans and other Health Care Plans need to be updated every year and whenever there is a change in a student's care needs. The school holidays are an ideal time to arrange this in time for the 2027 school year. 

Medication Plans and Asthma Action Plans can be downloaded from the College website or you can collect a blank form from the First Aid Officers. If you have any questions, please contact one of the First Aid Officers.

Returning borrowed clothes

If your child has borrowed clothes from the First Aid Room, can you please ensure that they have been returned?
