Year 7 Vaccination 

The Department of Health is offering parents of students in Year 7 the opportunity to have their child vaccinated against:

• diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough)- 1 injection.
• human papillomavirus (HPV) (one dose)
• Parents can also register consent for COVID-19 vaccine for their child.

A reminder to parents, if you have not already registered, please register consent/decline as soon as possible. 

The Department of Health Vaccine Team will be visiting the College on Wednesday 26 April to administer the vaccines.

The on-line VaccinateWA system is now to be used by parents/carers to complete the vaccination consent form in order to consent to their children/dependents receiving vaccinations whilst at school. 

To provide consent/decline for vaccination, please register your child onto VaccinateWA.

A paper-based immunisation consent form can also be obtained via the HealthyWA  website or from the College Health Centre (limited amount available) This must be returned to the College even if consent is declined.  On-line consent process is preferred.
