Mackillop Awards

Students who are eligible to receive a MacKillop award are asked to submit the required number of Principal awards to the school office no later than Friday, 3 December 2021.

Unfortunately awards submitted after this date cannot be accepted as sufficient time is required for the printing of award certificates.

Year 6 Mackillop awards will be presented at the farewell Mass.

All other grades Mackillop awards will be presented during Week 10. Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions assemblies and award ceremonies cannot take place and parents are unable to be onsite.

New Look Blue Merit Award

Due to a cost increase for printing the current blue merit award the size will change. The new look blue award will be smaller but the currency will remain the same.

5 Blue awards = 1 Gold award

New Medication Procedure

Following a review of the school sick bay and the dispensing of long term daily medications the school has been advised to update our medication procedure.

Commencing term 1, 2022 all long term medication must be provided to the school in a WEBSTER PACK containing one months supply per pack, clearly labelled with your child’s prescription, name, quantity and time medication is to be taken. The school advises that you consult with your GP or pharmacist to discuss the different styles of packs that will work best with your child’s medication.

Should your child require short term medication, no longer then one to two weeks, the webster pack is not required. Parents are to provide the medication in the bottle or packet that it is provided by the pharmacist with the prescription clearly labelled. All liquid medication requires a syringe or medicine cup to be provided for dispensing the medicine.

An ‘Authority to Dispense Medication’ form must be provided to the school for all prescribed and over the counter medications before any medication can be dispensed to your child. Parents can access this form via the school website and the school office.

Should you need to discuss this change in procedure in more detail please contact the school office (46548900) before the end of 2021 school year to ensure that your child’s medication is compliant for the commencement of the 2022 school year.
