Immunisations

Years 8 and 10 Immunisations

Year 8 Immunisation

A reminder to the parents of Year 8 students that Round Two of the Immunisation Program will take place on Thursday 30 August at 9.00am. Parents are requested to not make any appointments for their son or daughter on this day, where practicable. The initial permission slip which was submitted earlier in the year covers this immunisation.

Year 10 Meningococcal W Immunisation

The Health Department of WA will offer free Meningococcal immunisations to Year 10 students this year. The immunisations will occur at the College on Thursday 21 June 2018.

Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection of the blood, spinal cord membranes and brain. It disproportionately affects adolescents, which is the reason the State government is offering a free, school-based immunisation for your children. However, the vaccination is not compulsory.

Permission slips were distributed to Year 10 students in Homeroom on Friday 6 April. These must be returned as soon as possible.
