We are very grateful to the Corangamite Clinic team for providing a vaccination clinic last week for our senior students.

The optional program received a very strong response from our families and over 100 students were vaccinated here at school.

The follow up clinic has been booked for Tuesday, September 28 during the second week of the school holidays.

Appointment times will be sent to all students involved in this program.

We are hopeful that the offer will be extended to students in other year levels as more doses of the vaccine become available.

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