First Aid Room visits at school
We have adopted a new process this year for advising parents when their child has presented to the First Aid Room for assistance.
To replace the hand written Injury Notification slips, we will now use a facility in Compass which generates an email to the family primary carer (Parent #1 on your Compass Personal details).
The email will contain the reason why a student presented for first aid, the action taken/treatment given and the date and time of the visit. The office staff will contact you directly by phone if it is deemed necessary; otherwise the email will be your only notification and you are not required to call the school in reply.
Any visit to the First Aid Room will generate an email, no matter how minor the issue and regardless of whether any treatment was administered. For example, even a wobbly tooth will generate a message.

The District Tennis Tournament will be held at the Royal Avenue Tennis Courts, Sandringham on Tuesday 16th March.

School Sport Victoria - Team Vic Opportunities.
Hi Families,
School Sport Victoria will once again be offering the opportunity for students with emerging talent from your school community to register to trial for school sport Team Vic teams in 2021.
Registrations to trial will be opening very soon and remain open until Monday 1 March, 2021 for Team Vic Big 5 teams: 12 years and under Boys Australian Football, 12 years and under Boys Basketball, 12 years and under Girls Basketball, 12 years and under Boys Cricket, 12 years and under Boys Football (Soccer) and 12 years and under Netball.
Please note that registration to trial for these teams (per team) is limited to 3 students from your school. If there are more students than 3 seeking endorsement it is up to the school Principal to ensure a selection process is undertaken to choose the students most appropriate in 2021.
These are not Come ‘n’ Try opportunities. They are a process for selecting a Team Vic State Team going to School Sport Australia National Championships.
A minor change to the process for 2021 is:
a. 12 years and under Girls Australian Football will be offered. All nominees will go direct to State Trials.
b. 12 years and under Girls Football (Soccer) will not be required to go through stages of selection. All nominees will go direct to State Trials.
