A change in healthcare needs
A reminder to parents to notify the school about your child's health.
We welcome information from parents about your child's health, even if you are not requesting specific support from our school.
Our school asks for medical information when you enrol your child.
It is also vital that you let us know if your child's health care needs change or if a new health condition develops.
Information about allergies, medical conditions such as Asthma and Diabetes and other healthcare-related issues (including prior conditions such as medical procedures in the last 12 months) should be provided to the school by parents.
Please provide this information in writing to the Principal. This will significantly assist our school in planning to support your child's health and wellbeing.
We appreciate your assistance in this regard and assure you that any information you provide the school will be stored securely and will only be disclosed to support your son's or daughter's health needs or as otherwise required by law.
