Dear Parent/Guardian

With the start of Spring upon us people with asthma and allergies, such as hay fever, can find this time of the year triggering their symptoms.

Students with asthma - no matter how mild

If your child has asthma - even if it is quite mild - please let us know if you haven't already.

We require an up to date written Asthma Action Plan completed by your child's doctor.

There is no way of predicting if a student may suddenly have a major flare up, even if it has not happened before.

So please let us know so we can fulfil our duty of care and keep an eye on them.

Students with anaphylaxis

Please make sure that we have your child's most recent Anaphylaxis Action Plan.

The plan that we are referring to is the one that has the patient's photo attached and signed off by a doctor.

According to ASCIA, Australia's auhtority on anaphylaxis, the plans should be renewed by your doctor at least once a year.
