SCHOOL INFORMATION
SICKBAY Reminder
The school ‘Sick Bay’ is staffed by qualified First Aid Attendants and is provided by the school during the hours of 9am and 3pm so that immediate attention to illness or injury is available to students at all times.
Sick Bay Procedures
It is best for your child to remain at home if they are unwell in the morning.
However, should they become ill at school they will be attended to by a First Aid attendant. Parents/ guardians or your emergency contact person will be notified to arrange transport home. To this end it is vital that student contact details are up to date.
Students are NOT PERMITTED to RING their parents/guardians themselves OR leave the school without permission.
Regular Medication
If your child requires regular medication to be administered during school hours parents/guardians need to send the medication to school, clearly labelled, and it will be held in the locked first aid cabinet available for use by your child under the supervision of the First Aid attendant. The school does not keep a supply of painkillers (Panadol or other medication) for student use.
A treatment action plan should be supplied for students with asthma or any other illness that may require first aid assistance at school. In particular, medical conditions like epilepsy, haemophilia, diabetes, anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions. This plan will be attached to your child’s school records. Parents/Guardians will also need to provide this information again when your child attends school excursions or camps.
Anaphylaxis
Each student who is at risk of anaphylaxis is required to have a management plan that has been developed in consultation with the parents/guardians and medical practitioner. Prevention strategies for each student at risk of anaphylaxis must be developed for both in school and out of school settings.
First Aid supplies
First aid medical supplies are only issued for injuries/incidents that occur at school. Any student requiring strapping tape etc must also provide their own supplies.
Please feel free to contact our First Aid Attendants at any time.

Uniform Reminder
A reminder for parents, guardians and students;
The only jacket that can be worn in place of the school jumper or windcheater is the LHS weatherproof jacket.
Jumpers with HOODS are NOT permitted.
CARPARK Arrangements
Parents/Guardians delivering and collecting students by car are reminded that safety considerations are paramount for all of us.
PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH THE STAFF CAR PARK (MELBA AVE) TO DROP OFF/COLLECT STUDENTS – THIS IS A PARKING-ONLY FACILITY. The car park is out of bounds for students.
The STADIUM CARPARK is designated for drop off/collection of students. There is room to park or drive through and students can walk/wait under cover for their transport.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter.
Lost Property
The Main Office is currently holding several items of lost property; school uniforms, sport shoes, personal clothing, sleeping bags and other items.
Students are asked to come to the Main Office during recess or lunctime to have a look through the lost items and claim anything that belongs to them. We will be taking anything left to Student Services or the Salvos at the end of term.
