Is your child's medical information on Operoo up to date?
St Philip's College
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our winter season and cold frosty mornings brings with it triggers and heightened risks for those students diagnosed with Asthma. Please treat this as a timely reminder if your child has been diagnosed with Asthma, Seasonal Asthma or Exercise induced Asthma and familiarise yourself with our College Policy relating to Asthma Management.
- Parents/Guardians to notify the College Medical Centre and update the student’s Operoo portal of all medical conditions including Asthma as well as any medication that a student is required to take on an ongoing basis.
- Every student with Asthma should have a written Asthma Action Plan provided to the College Medical Centre and uploaded on their Operoo portal.
- An integral part of Asthma management is the development of a written Asthma Action Plan by the person with Asthma and/or their carer together with their doctor. An Asthma Action Plan helps the person with Asthma and/or their carer recognise worsening Asthma and gives clear instructions on what to do in response.
- Students who have been diagnosed with Asthma should always carry their blue/grey reliever medication and spacer while at the College and/or attending College organised activities.
Adhering to College policy will ensure staff can provide the best possible care for your child in all situations; this is particularly relevant for our Athletics Carnival coming up in Week 4.
