COVID -19 Vaccinations

here at Trinity

We are very grateful to the Corangamite Clinic team for providing a vaccination ‘hub’ here at Trinity College these past few weeks. 

The optional program received a very strong response from our families. All students and staff that wished to have a vaccination have been offered the opportunity to have the vaccine administered by a medical team provided by Corangamite Clinic. 

The next few Tuesdays will be devoted to families’ requests for vaccinations for students in Years 7 to 9 and appointment times have been sent to families for those dates.  Parents/Carers are reminded that no vaccination will be administered to students without parental consent, so families must please provide this consent on PAM. 

Should you have any queries, please contact reception on 5233 9200.
