From the office

Welcome back to term 4!

This term is jammed packed with activities and camps. Please make sure your contact details are up to date and the office is aware of any changes or address or important contact numbers.

Hats

All students must wear hats outside.  If students do not have a hat while outside at recess or lunch, they will be directed to the rotunda to play. Any navy, wide brimmed hat will suffice, Beleza sell Macedon Primary branded hats. Thank you for your co-operation with this.

First Aid Update

The Department of Education have updated their Administration of Medication policy, please note that Macedon Primary School staff will not: 

• in accordance with Department of Education and Training policy, store or administer analgesics such as aspirin and paracetamol as a standard first aid strategy as they can mask signs and symptoms of serious illness or injury. 

• allow a student to take their first dose of a new medication at school in case of an allergic reaction. This should be done under the supervision of the student’s parents, carers or health practitioner.

• allow use of medication by anyone other than the prescribed student except in a life-threatening emergency, for example if a student is having an asthma attack and their own puffer is not readily available.

A list of policies is available on our webpage https://macedonps.vic.edu.au/about/

Spare clothing

Please pack some spare clothing for your child/ren. We have a limited amount of clothing in sick bay and cannot always give children spare clothing. If you child is excessively wet and muddy you will be contacted and asked to bring in a change of clothes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office on 54261518 or email macedon.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Have a lovely term break and see you next term!
