Medical Authorisation Form

To ensure children’s safety, in accordance with VRQA regulations any medication which is to be administered at school must be in its original packaging. For example, if your child is to be administered Panadol, it must be given to the office, and a Medication Authorisation Form completed. The Panadol must be in its original packaging.

Phones / other electronic devices at school

All phones / other electronic devices must be given to nto the classroom teacher at the beginning of each day, and then retrieved after school (as per school practice). All devices are required to be signed in and out each day.

Celebrations

The children love to celebrate their birthday with their classmates. While lollies are not to be provided to celebrate birthdays, water icy poles or lollipops are permitted to be distributed to children.

If you are providing lollipops, they should be given to your child's teacher in the original packaging with all ingredients listed. The lollipops must be nut free, gluten free and dairy free.

If providing icy poles please leave these at the office.

Food and Allergies

Parents, please remind your children that there is to be NO sharing of food at school. This is to protect children with serious food allergies (both known and unknown). Thank you for your support with this request.

We have a number of children at our school who have food allergies. These allergies range from minor, through to life threatening. It is not only nuts that these children are allergic to, we need to be cautious of all foods. To ensure we maintain a safe environment for these children it is essential that the rules listed below are followed. Also, if your child has a friend who has food allergies try to ensure your child is educated about this and if they have the food that causes the allergic reaction in their lunch box that they tell their friend and teacher.

NO peanut butter or any foods that include peanuts are permitted to be brought to school. It is imperative that our children's well being and safety rules are adhered to by all of our school community.

Please also remember:

· No sharing of food

· No nut products at school

· Parents are not to offer other children food during school times

· Washing of hands after eating

Working With Children

A reminder that all parents are welcome to volunteer at the school in various areas, e.g. canteen, school excursions and classroom help. You will need to obtain a working with children card to be able to do this. Applications can now be completed online at

www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au

Once the online application has been completed it should be printed and lodged at Australia Post. There is no charge for a Working with Children check for volunteers.

As directed and mandated by the government we are unable to allow parents without a WWC card to volunteer at school.

Community Business Directory

Included on our School Website is a Business Directory under the tab “School Community”. The purpose of this directory is to promote business opportunities within our community for parents of our school. If you are a tradesman, hairdresser, house cleaner - whatever your business is then this listing is FREE for you. Businesses not connected to the school will pay an annual fee. If you would like to have your business listed please see the office for a form.

Parking—Pick up and drop off

Parking safely at school is part of the physical and emotional wellbeing of our children. Please assist us with our request to drive and park safely for the benefit of children, siblings, parents and other important and special people in our lives.

You should always ensure that you read all parking signs (including disabled zones), as the school is patrolled on a regular basis by Law Enforcement Officers.
