Medical Information
It is an ACT Government regulation that all children attending schools in the ACT be immunised. The school is obliged to formally collect from parents, duly completed forms that verify immunisation. Where parents object to immunisation, a formal letter indicating this objection must be provided. In such cases, the ACT Health Department will be notified about your child's lack of immunisation. In the event of a contagious illness being reported at school, children without the appropriate vaccinations will be excluded from school. We strongly urge all families to fully immunise their school-aged children.
Counsellor
CatholicCare and Catholic Education provide the school with a Counsellor on a regular basis. The Counsellor will be available to parents, pupils and teachers who seek advice or help for the emotional, social and educational well-being of pupils. Parents may request an interview with the Counsellor, whilst teachers may at times refer pupils to the Counsellor with parent permission. As a general rule, all parents are contacted before their child sees the Counsellor. This service is a positive aspect of the school community. Before contact with the Counsellor can be arranged, parents are requested to contact the office for a referral to be returned to the Principal.
