CLH Meeting February 2021
Thursday 25th February 2021 9:30am
We welcome all parents to attend our first parent information session for 2021. We decided to focus this session with one of our most popular requests each year. Our amazing therapy team have agreed to run this session with a specific focus on ‘Supporting your child’s regulation and communication needs across their daily routine at home’. This session will complement our current situation between lockdowns. We understand that this may be a very difficult time for a lot of our students and their families and we would like to extend our support and expertise as best we can.
Due to uncertain times and restrictions the session will be held online via WEBEX to ensure that the session will continue despite changes. If you are interested please contact Michelle Zammit via email on michelle.zammit@education.vic.gov.au for the link to the session.

Medical Documentation for Students
Just another friendly reminder that any medical or medication updates need to be provided to the school in a timely manner in order for us to know your child's needs.
All Asthma, Anaphylaxis and Epilepsy/ Seizure plans do need to be updated on a Yearly basis or earlier if medication or medical needs change. Thank you.
