PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

National Day of Action Against Bullying This Friday 15th March is National Day of Action Against Bullying. Our whole school will be involved in this initiative with all students engaging in online lessons with their teachers. On Thursday afternoon, students will come home with a coloured wristband to wear to school for our assembly on Friday morning. Teachers will be wearing wristbands or orange ribbons to support the day. Information about this day can be obtained online from our school website by selecting: Supporting Our Students -> Student Health and Safety -> Anti-Bullying Programs. Every class will be discussing Bullying and what it is, referring to the posters below. Terrigal Public School says “No to Bullying!”

P&C Annual General Meeting. Our Annual General Meeting for the P&C is next Monday 18th March at 7pm in our staff room. We welcome all families to attend this meeting.

Stewart House Each year 1,700 public school children in need go to Stewart House from many parts of NSW and the ACT. During their stay, children are provided with optometric, dental and medical treatment as well as emotional support. This week students will be receiving Stewart House Donation envelopes. These envelopes need to be returned to the school office by Friday 31st May. Every donation that is received goes into a draw to win a $4,000 holiday to a destination of your choice. Good luck!

ADMINISTRATION

Administering of Prescribed Medication The school prefers NOT to administer prescribed medication to students, as medical staff are not employed at the school. Where administration of prescribed medication in school hours is essential to the student’s health and educational welfare, the procedures set out by the Department of Education will be strictly enforced. If your child needs to take antibiotics 3 times a day, there is no need to send the medication to school. Medication can be taken before school, after school and before bedtime. Should your child need any kind of medication throughout the day, please remember the following regulations:

• Parents need to come to school and fill in an individual health care plan. A letter from the doctor detailing dosage and time of day medication needs to be taken must accompany the health care plan.

• The parent needs to provide written instructions about any special requirements for storage indicated by their medical practitioner or pharmacist.

• Students must not carry medications unless there is a written agreement between the school and the student’s parents.

• For some conditions, prescribed medication and equipment must be immediately accessible, e.g. asthma and anaphylaxis medications such as Ventolin asthma relievers and epipen adrenaline auto injectors. In such cases, arrangements for the carrying of medication and equipment will be devised and documented by the school.
