  • Accounts were due to be finalised in full by 20th September 2026.

Anaphylaxis - Student Safety

Please take a moment to review our Anaphylaxis Policy. To support the safe management of anaphylaxis, MSJ will securely store your child's adrenaline autoinjector in the designated medication storage area. The autoinjector will be used if your child experiences an anaphylactic reaction and will be included in the first aid kit for all off-site school activities. ‌

 

Parent/Guardian/Carer Responsibilities:

  • Provide the school's Senior First Aider with your child's current adrenaline autoinjector.
  • Ensure the adrenaline autoinjector is replaced prior to its expiry date.
  • Participate in the development of your child's Individual Anaphylaxis Management Plan (IAMP). Following consultation, the IAMP must be reviewed and signed by the parent/guardian. If the IAMP is not signed, an interim management plan will remain in place.
  • When your child leaves MSJ, arrangements will be made by the Senior First Aider for the collection of any stored adrenaline autoinjectors and medications.

 

Biri N - Risk & Compliance Officer


Upcoming Events:

Parent Information Night: Understanding ADHD

On Wednesday the 7th of October, please join us for an informative and engaging parent evening designed to build understanding of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its impact on learning, behaviour, and everyday life.

 

During the session, Stewart D’Silva, Registered Psychologist will explore the foundations of ADHD, including what ADHD is, its prevalence and causes, how ADHD can present differently in girls and women, why routine screening is not currently recommended, and the potential outcomes for individuals during and beyond their school years.

 

The evening will also examine ADHD as a self-regulation disorder, helping parents understand the challenges associated with managing attention, behaviour, and emotions. We will discuss the relationship between self-regulation demands and an individual's capacity to meet those demands, providing practical insights that can support children and young people at home and at school.

 

This session is an excellent opportunity for parents and caregivers to deepen their understanding of ADHD and gain evidence-informed knowledge to better support their child.

 

To RSVP, please complete an Expression of Interest HERE
