Reminder – Hay Fever Management

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We are currently experiencing a high number of students presenting to First Aid with hay fever symptoms, from mild to severe or acute.

Hay fever can significantly affect students’ comfort, concentration, and ability to learn, particularly during peak allergy season.

We encourage families of children who are prone to hay fever to take preventative measures before school each morning, including administering their usual antihistamine as directed by their healthcare professional, where appropriate.

Once symptoms become severe, it can be much more difficult to provide relief at school.

When students do not have their required medication available, our First Aid staff often need to contact parents to arrange a solution, which can delay relief and may require parents to attend the school.

Please help us support your child by managing symptoms early and ensuring any required medication is available at school.

In addition to this, if your child will be attending a camp this term and you know they are prone to hay fever, please provide the First Aid Team with a Medication Plan and the appropriate antihistamine medication to ensure that your child’s camp experience isn’t made unpleasant due to unmanaged hay fever symptoms.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Kind regards

First Aid Team

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 helps 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, ready 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?

Thank you,

First Aid Team
