First Aid 2023

Updates

Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools  (MACS) have updated procedures for First Aid Management. Students with health conditions require specific forms/plans that need to be filled in. Over the coming months if you have a child with health conditions you may receive documents from the Administration team that require your attention.

Unfortunately schools are no longer able to administer any medications unless they are accompanied by a Medication Authority Form signed by a registered practitioner. These forms can be download from our website or collected from the office. Medication must be in its original packaging, including your child’s name and clear directions of dosage.  The medication must be handed into a the office and handed to an administration staff member. For those students who have an Action Care plan for a certain health condition you are exempt from this form. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Asthma 

Students diagnosed with Asthma should follow the Asthma Management Plan determined by their doctor. 

As parents and carers, you are able to access your child’s Operoo medical profile and update this when changes occur.  This is the schools main source of medical information, it is extremely important that your child's information is up to date especially before camps and excursions.

Please make sure emergency contacts are up to date, that the nominated person(s) are willing and able to be contacted. 

Ideal Asthma Action Plan is below, you can download a form from https://asthma.org.au for your treating doctor to complete. Please make sure you have a current photo of your child on the plan.
