Student medical forms

During Terms 3 and 4 we will be updating our medical records systems to ensure we have the most up-to-date information on your child’s health.

If you have a child with a medical condition you will receive a copy of the new forms in the mail and will need to fill them out and return them to us as soon as you can.

The good news is we have already started collecting some of this information, which means less for you to do.

The new forms will help us collect your child’s important medical information and the introduction of new systems will mean we'll be able to better manage the daily and emergency health needs of your child.

We appreciate your support as we start collecting the information, and if you have any questions please call.

Vision Statement

“Cobar High School strives for

excellence in a

safe and respectful

environment”.

Helping teenagers celebrate safely Parties are part and parcel of a teenager’s life. While

most celebrations go off without a hitch, they can go

wrong and get out of hand – particularly if the party is

unplanned.

Here are some tips to help ensure your teenager and

their friends have fun but remain safe.
