News from the Office
BEGINNING OF YEAR NOTES AND INFORMATION
The information that we need to collect at the beginning of the school year is many and varied. For many of these notes we will be utilising Compass as a way of collecting permission. For notes that are required by a small portion of students the details are below.
STUDENT MEDICATIONS
As per the Catholic Education Office Administration of Medication in Schools Policy, any medication required by the students while they are at school must be kept in the school office. This medication must be accompanied by a Request for School to Administer Medication form.
The form is available at the link below and on the school website.
ASTHMA
If your child suffers from Asthma and requires medication at school, along with the form above, please provide the Asthma Notification form (attached below) and ensure the school office has a current Asthma Plan.
ANAPHYLAXIS
If your child suffers from allergies that could result in an anaphylactic reaction and requires medication at school, along with the form above, please provide the Anaphylaxis Action Plan (attached below).
If the school already has a copy of this plan you only need to provide this form if the form we have is out of date.
ALLERGIES
If your child suffers from allergies that could result in a reaction and requires medication at school, along with the form above, please provide the Allergic Reaction Action Plan (attached below).
If the school already has a copy of this plan you only need to provide this form if the form we have is out of date.
At the beginning of the new school year, we would like to remind parents to check and update any details for your children and yourself in the Compass portal.
