Riley and the Easter Appeal
Riley, Year 5 student at Brooklyn Park Campus is helping to raise funds for the Variety - the children's charity through the Woolworths Easter Appeal to support Aussie kids. The money raised through chocolate egg sales is set to helping families and children receive much needed financial support.
100% of all funds raised will help our partners to support children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

First Aid Student Attendance and Support
If your child attends First Aid we will email you with all the details including: the nature of the problem, the treatment provided, and the duration of the visit. This email is standard procedure and does not require your response.
In the case of more serious injuries or illness a First Aid Officer will call you or your emergency contact (if we can't get through).
In an emergency, a First Aid Officer will: administer first aid, call an ambulance and then call family / emergency contacts as required.
If your child comes to school with a pre-existing injury or any other issue which we should know about, please let us know. However, please remember that first aid assistance is generally for first aid only, not for ongoing treatment. Where deemed necessary, First Aid Officers may offer some ongoing support to students at school, however please contact us to discuss this.
It is important that parents / caregivers advise the College of any change of phone number or email address so that we can contact you.
If you need to talk about any matters with one of the First Aid Officers, please do not hesitate to call us on 8292 3884 or email firstaid@emmauscc.sa.edu.au.
Thank you,
Ros Argent, Maria McIver and Heidi Van Eck
