ST ROBERTS IS A REGISTERED ‘SUN SMART’ SCHOOL
All children and staff use a combination of sun protection measures between September and May.
Particular care is taken between the hours of 10.00am -2.00pm (11.00am-3.00pm daylight saving time).
Sun protection is considered when planning all outdoor events, eg. assemblies, camps, excursions, sporting events.
ENTRANCE TO ST ROBERT’S
Reminder that all children are asked to enter the school building through the Mervyn Street entrance.
There are still many children coming through the Nicholas Street door everyday.
If children enter the school grounds at Nicholas Street they are asked to walk around to the double doors facing Mervyn Street.
Children whose classrooms have balconies facing the oval will enter and be dismissed through the balcony doors.
We ask for your co-operation with these new entry and exit arrangements
MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
With the arrival of the latest batch of viral infections, we include this gentle reminder to parents about our policy for administering short-term medications at school:
1. Please obtain a ‘Medical Consent Form’ from your class room teacher.
2. Complete the form, and hand this to your child’s teacher, together with the required medication, eg. Antibiotics, Zyrtec etc.
3. This form will be stored in the ‘Medical Information Folder’, medication will be stored in either the staff fridge or an insulation pack within the classroom.
Thank you for your cooperation, Julie Prendergast, Wellbeing Coordinator
ASTHMA ACTION PLANS
Just a reminder to all parents that if your child has asthma whether mild, moderate or severe they need to have a Asthma Action Plan at school.
All asthma medication is kept in a central storage area in clearly labelled individual sealed containers.
All teachers have been trained in the administration of asthma medication and all are familiar with the Asthma First Aid Procedure.
