First Aid- update plans

On Friday, all staff undertook a first aid learning session. This session was important in order to ensure that we are equipped for any medical concerns that arise here at school. It also flagged the importance of making sure that all medication plans are up to date. If your child has asthma or takes medication while at school, please contact Kristy as soon as possible to double check that we have all relevant documentation.

Covid, Colds and Flu

We are well and truly into that time of year when people are getting sick. We are experiencing an increase in reported Covid-19 cases throughout Victoria and our school community. Please keep your child home if they have any cold and flu like symptoms, even if your child is testing negative, they are required to stay at home until symptom free. If your child tests positive, please ensure they stay home for at least 5 days and they are no longer symptomatic. We appreciate your support as these steps will help us all stay well.
