Student Health
Promoting health, managing student illnesses and reducing health risks are important to everyone at our school.
Prescribed Medication
If your child is being prescribed medication that needs to be taken during the day, please inform us so that we can administer the medication. Please read the important information about prescribed medications at school.
Managing Complex Health Needs
An individual health care plan is developed for each student with complex health needs. The plan supports students with severe asthma, type 1 diabetes, epilepsy, anaphylaxis and those at risk of an emergency or requiring the administration of specific health care procedures.
Infectious Diseases
There are many infectious diseases that affect children and young people. Primary students who do not have proof of immunisation may have to stay at home during an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease.
Vaccination Programs
The Public Health Unit of the NSW Department of Health delivers the NSW Adolescent School-based Vaccination Program to Year 7 students and provides immunisations to Year 10 students.
Head Lice
Head lice outbreaks sometimes occur at school. If your child has head lice please treat your child and inform us. Daily combing of dry hair with conditioner can get rid of head lice. You should continue to send your child to school.
Sun Safety
Our sun sense program educates students about how to protect themselves from the sun’s damaging UV rays and our school promotes sun safety.
Ear Infections
Otitis Media is a common middle ear infection which may cause fever or vomiting. If undetected, a child may suffer from hearing loss and their learning could be affected. Most ear infections respond readily to treatment.
