PAM PERMISSIONS
If you receive a PAM notification it is important that if your child is unable to attend the activity that you decline the permission rather than not actioning it. If your plans change & you want your child to attend an activity that has been declined, please contact the school office as we can rectify this.
CONCUSSION
Concussion – Important information to be aware of for parents and carers
If your child has experienced a concussion outside of the school setting it is important that they rest for a period of 24 to 48 hours and then gradually return to activities after this time. Returning to school can be a graduated approach with the aim of increasing tolerance to a full day, the same situation could occur with sporting activities. It is always important to check with your doctor and seek medical treatment after a child sustains a concussion.
It is important to inform the school if your child has sustained a concussion outside of school; this is to ensure the school can monitor your child’s wellbeing and adapt activities as required.
This factsheet link below from the Royal Children’s Hospital is valuable to read and understand.

There is also a great evidence-based app from the Murdoch children’s research institute that walks you through what to do in the result of a concussion.
