First Aid Update - Canberra & The Island CAMPS
Over the past two weeks, Sickbay Sam has been busy sending out emails around medication for the upcoming school camps in Term 3.
Please check your inbox for an email from: 2185-sickbay@schools.vic.gov.au
All medications that are currently in the school’s sickbay will be packed and taken on camp. However, if your child requires any additional medications on camp, you need to complete a medication authority and provide the medication to the school, in its original packaging/box, prior to the end of term.
If you have any questions or concerns, please see Sickbay Sam as soon as possible.

100 Days of School
We would like to congratulate our Foundation students who are approaching their 100th day of school on Friday 25th July. It is an important milestone where we celebrate our youngest students' progress as they reach the approximate half-way point of their first year of schooling. We hope you enjoy this much deserved day. We hope that all students and their families can look forward to this fun occasion and, use it as an opportunity to reflect upon their own journeys across the year so far with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Enjoy the winter holidays and we look forward to seeing the wonderful dress-up ideas our Foundation students have come up with, on the first Friday of term 3.
