Thunderstorm Asthma Season

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there is a greater risk of an Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma event occurring this year due to a wet spring encouraging grass growth. This is caused by the La’Nina effect, which usually means above-average winter-spring rainfall for Australia.

Asthma

If your son suffers from Asthma, please ensure that he has his own Ventolin and spacer for use at school.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to wash inhalers for re-use in the health centre.

If your son requires the use of a Health Centre Ventolin, we will notify you and request that it is replaced with a new one.

Hay Fever

If your son suffers from Hay Fever, please ensure that they take an anti-histamine before leaving home in the morning.  The Health Centre has a small supply available for emergency situations, however, we cannot supply your son on a daily basis.

If your son requires eye drops please send them to school with him and we can assist him with inserting them.

If the current anti-histamine your son is taking is not effective, please speak to a pharmacist or your GP for an alternative.

Masks

Due to the latest COVID outbreak, masks are required to be worn at school inside.

Please ensure that your son brings a mask from home to wear. A spare mask is also recommended in case of breakages.
