Assemblies

The Community Health Nurse provides a screening service for school students. Parents should inform the school of any medical disabilities or treatments which may require a modified educational program. All kindergarten students with consent have a school entry health assessment that includes vision, hearing screen, height and weight assessment. This assessment will be completed for students in Pre Primary and Year 1 if they are not done at the school’s kindergarten.

Student Mental Health and Wellbeing
Today parents face a multitude of modern day challenges in raising happy, well and resilient young people. Whilst there is a great deal of information available, this can often be confusing and overwhelming for parents looking for guidance.
SchoolTV addresses this as a new online resource designed to empower you as parents with credible and sound information with realistic, practical ongoing support strategies.
