Respiratory Symptoms and Infections

There has recently been an increase in respiratory infections.  If your child has respiratory symptoms, please test them for COVID, RSV and Flu A and B.  These tests can be purchased from a pharmacy.

If your child is unwell with a respiratory infection, please follow the guidelines below:

Students should remain at home until they have been fever-free (below 37.5°C) for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin.

National Asthma Week 1 – 7 September

This Asthma Week, the National Asthma Council Australia is highlighting an important change in the way asthma is managed.
For many people with asthma, relying on a blue reliever puffer alone is no longer recommended. Current asthma guidelines place greater emphasis on treating the underlying inflammation in the airways, not just relieving symptoms when they occur.
In light of this advice, the Health Centre encourages families of students with asthma to speak with their GP about their current asthma management and whether any changes are recommended.
If your child is prescribed a preventer puffer for use at school, please ensure a clearly named puffer is provided to the Health Centre.
For further information and asthma resources, please visit the National Asthma Council Australia website.

Hay Fever Season is Approaching

October to December is hay fever season in Victoria. This means it may be time for regular antihistamine use every morning or every night before bed to provide good relief coverage for your child (and yourself) to help work on through the day.

Once symptoms arise, it is chasing symptom control which makes ‘getting through the day’ challenging. It is better to get control first with regular antihistamine use.

Thank you for your assistance in providing hay fever relief for your child to help them with their learning day.
