Medications at school
If your child requires medication at school you must bring the medication to the office and fill out the 'Medication Authority From'. Students are not to be taking medication in their classrooms. All medication must be in its original container and bear the original label with the name of the student and information on the dosage time and to be administered.

Student mobile phones
A reminder that students need to sign their phones in at the office. This also includes watches that can make phone calls, SMS or access the internet, must be signed in at the office.
If children need to be collected early or are not feeling well, they need to let their teacher know and you can be contacted.

Spare Clothes
With the wet weather upon us and the school grounds muddy, we are asking student to pack a spare change of clothes. We have a limited supply of spare clothes in the sick bay, however, we would appreciate you to bring in some spare from home. Also, if your child does borrow some clothes, please returned them to the school.
