Updating Medical Records 

Please ensure your child's medication is up to date.

The Department of Education requires School Asthma Action Plans and Anaphylaxis Plans to be updated annually. Existing and newly diagnosed Asthmatics must have an Asthma Action plan (available from the School Office). Please complete this form and return to school as soon as possible.   A doctor`s signature is required.  Anaphylaxis Plans are obtained through the doctor also. 

If your child no longer requires an asthma plan can you please notify Audrey.

MEDICAL AUTHORISATIONS

If your child requires medication during school hours you must complete a Medication Authorisation Form. These can be obtained from the front office. The medication must be brought to the office before school. 

Please note wherever possible, medication should be scheduled outside school hours, e.g. medication required three times daily is generally not required during a school day - it can be taken before and after school and before bed.

Students are not permitted to carry any medication in their schoolbags or self-administer any medication.

Thank you for your support with helping us to manage student medical needs.

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT - DR MICHAEL CARR GREGG​ 

The Coronavirus has turned our world upside down in a matter of weeks impacting many areas of our daily lives. This has resulted in the indefinite postponement of many special events such as school trips, milestone birthdays and sporting events.​  Not only is this difficult for adults to come to terms with, but young people are also affected leaving many feeling overwhelmed and disappointed. Although disappointment is a normal part of growing up, how kids respond will determine the impact it will have on their future happiness. Adults need to remember that young people have a lot of choice regarding how they respond to disappointment. It is considered a healthy and positive emotion and essential to a young person’s emotional, intellectual and social development. Disappointment can be a tricky emotion to deal with at any age. Therefore, it is important for adult carers to help kids manage their disappointment by recognising that their feelings are real and encouraging them to look at the problem objectively.
