Spark their Future

They say it takes a village to raise a child and our school is an important part of that village. We want to work with you to give your child the support they need to engage and thrive at school. Make a time to talk to your child’s teacher, year level coordinator or our guidance officer. Our team is here to help your child with their educational, behavioural and wellbeing needs

The Spark their Future website has tips on how to contact your school and this video talks about how we can work together to achieve success and happiness for your child.

One of the articles you will find on the website is below…

Ensure your child’s school has up-to-date health or action plans

Schools can assist students with health support needs such as diabetes, epilepsy, asthma and anaphylaxis. However, it is important to ensure they have an up-to-date copy of your child’s health or action plans. Speak to the school about how they can support your child. If needed, the school can access the State Schools Nursing Service for support to make sure your child is safe at school

Information for families – a safety warning about bats

While bats and flying-foxes are protected species and pose minimal risk to humans, please remind your children to stay clear of them. If you see a bat on the ground, they may be sick or injured. Do not touch the animal. Instead, call the RSPCA on 1300 264 625 or your local wildlife care organisation for assistance.

If a child is bitten or scratched by a bat, they should tell their parent, teacher or a responsible adult immediately. The wound should be washed thoroughly with soap and water, antiseptic applied, and medical attention sought urgently. For further information, visit the Education website.
