HP Health Space

Health Space Updates!

Thanks again to Pinch-a-Poo for their generous donation of sunscreen! We have samples to give to the students, the First Aid kits are well-stocked, and each house office has new products! Due to the abundance of products we have been able to give some to River Gum PS and local foodbanks.

• “Share the Dignity” have made generous donations of sanitary products this term, allowing all students to have access to these essential products. 
• First Aid and CPR training has happened this week and many staff took advantage of this important training. Thanks to Lindsay Forbes and his team.
• In the health space this year Prue, the school nurse, has had 3323 student visits. Most of these students return to class with a small number sent home due to illness. 
• Smile Squad – free dental service – finished their treatments this month and hope to return in late ’23 or early ’24 to see new students.
