Keeping Student Health and Medical Information up-to-date on PAM

Parents and carers must keep the College informed of their child’s physical and mental health needs, including current action plans, treatment requirements, and medication details.

Please promptly report any new diagnosis or changes to conditions, treatment or medication, along with significant injuries or medical incidents outside school that may affect your child’s participation. This is particularly important after a head injury or suspected concussion, including when symptoms develop later.

Current information helps us provide appropriate learning, sporting, first aid and wellbeing support.

Please also check your child’s medical profile and ensure Paracetamol and ambulance consent selections are fully completed, as some profiles remain incomplete.

In a medical emergency, the College will call an ambulance when necessary, regardless of the consent selection recorded.

Thank you for keeping this information current and helping us provide safe, appropriate care for your child.
