We will be holding 2 Parent/Carer Volunteer Induction Sessions in March.
- Monday 19th March – evening session to be held at Bundoora Campus (Discovery Centre) at 5pm.
- Tuesday 20th March – morning session to be held at Watsonia Campus (Multi-Purpose Room) at 9.15am.
Anyone wishing to volunteer at our school will be required to attend one of these sessions. Due to the OH&S aspect needing to be completed yearly, if you have attended a session last year, you will be required to stay for the initial part of the session only.

Student Medical Plans
Parents and carers of students with a health condition are required to provide the school with a current medical management/action plan, completed by the child’s physician, each year and with any changes that occur in the interim. This includes action/management plans for asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, anaphylaxis, allergic reactions, stroke, heart conditions and other specific health conditions. If your child has a specific health condition and you have not forwarded the school an updated medical management plan recently, or there have been changes in your child’s health management, please contact the school nurse on 9467 3972 to request the appropriate forms.
Please return completed medical action and management plans to the school nurse.
Thank you for your support.
