Student Health & Wellbeing

Emergency Information

At Thomastown Meadows Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of your child is our top priority. It’s important that all emergency information is kept up to date.

Keep Your Details Current

Please ensure the following information is always accurate:

• Home address

• Telephone numbers (home and work)

• Emergency contact details

Keeping this information up to date ensures your child can be cared for promptly and reduces distress during an emergency.

Tip: Notify the school of any changes to your child’s medical, social, or emotional needs. Updates can be made:

• Through Compass

• By contacting our office staff

Medication

If your child requires medication at school:

1. Inform the class teacher, first aid officer, or office staff.

2. Complete a Medication Authorisation Form, providing:

   • Medication name

   • Dosage

   • Time it should be administered

3. Ensure all medication packaging is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

For students with ongoing medical needs, Management Plans must be kept current and relevant to their condition.

School Nurse Service

The School Nurse Service supports student health through routine medical checks:

• Foundation and new students: Examined as part of standard school health checks. Parents/carers are informed before the assessment.

• Other students: Examined on referral by the class teacher or parent/carer.

The School Nurse works closely with parents, teachers, and the school to ensure the health and wellbeing of all students.

Quick Reminders for Parents

• Always keep your contact and emergency details up to date.

• Notify the school about absences, illnesses, or changes in health conditions.

• Provide clear instructions and documentation for any medication your child needs at school.
