Student Medical Information
? Important: Keeping Your Child’s Medical Details Up to Date
Dear Parents and Carers,
Your child’s safety, health, and wellbeing are our highest priorities. To help us provide the best possible care during the school day, on excursions, and at school camps, we need to ensure our medical records are completely accurate.
? When to Update Us
Please notify the school administration immediately if your child:
- Develops a new medical condition or allergy.
- Receives an updated medical diagnosis from a doctor.
- Changes or ceases regular medication.
- Has an upcoming school camp or overnight excursion.
? Annual Action Plans
If your child has a high-risk condition such as anaphylaxis, asthma, epilepsy, or diabetes, please remember that their medical action plans must be updated and signed by a registered doctor every 12 to 24 months.
? Medication Checks
Please regularly check that any emergency medications stored at the school office (such as EpiPens or inhalers) are clearly labelled and well within their expiry dates.
?️ How to Update Details
You can update your child’s health information at any time by logging into the Simon (PAM) or by contacting the school office directly to request a medical amendment form
You will receive an email via SIMON (PAM) when your child is due for a new plan or if your child's medication has expired.
If your child requires any medical care or medication at school you will be required to take the following forms to a Health Practitioner (to be filled in and signed off).
Medical Management Form

https://www.ccsbelmont.com.au/source/Medication-Authority-Form-Schools-%20template%202023%20(2).pdf
We can no longer give any medication eg. panadol, antibiotics, antihistamines, creams etc to your child at school unless these forms are filled out.
These forms are available from the office, on our website under Our School - Policies/Forms to download or in the knowledge bank on PAM.
Thanks
Car Park Reminder
Just a few of reminders about the church carpark:
- The disabled parking spaces are for people who are displaying a disabled sticker on their car. Please do not use these parks if you do not display the sticker as we have people in our community who need to use them.
- Parents should not be parking in the front of the church. There is a yellow line and do not park sign in front of the church. Please respect this and do not use this area for picking up children. We are lucky to have use of the second driveway and should respect the request of the Parish that we do not park in the yellow zone.
- The parks against the wire fence are for parents who have babies and are unable to leave their vehicle to collect children. Please show some consideration for these parents.
- Please remind your children to walk on the zebra crossing through the carpark. Children should not be wandering through the carpark on their own amongst the traffic.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP ZONE
The drop off/pick up zone is an area of our school that is set up to allow for traffic to flow safely and quickly at a very busy time of the day. This is a 2 minute parking zone. Parents should not be leaving their car at all when parked in this zone. If your child needs you to greet them at the end of day in person or drop them to a gate you will need to park in the Church car park or at McDonald's reserve. If you have grandparents or other family/friends doing the drop off or pick up for your child/ren please ensure you communicate these expectations to them to ensure safety and fairness for all. The pick up zone is a two way street so no one should be double parking.
Teaching and Learning Open Evening: Year Prep and One
Come along to hear about how we Teach and Learn at Clairvaux.
We are so proud of the steps we have taken over the last few years to bring us to the point we are at now with our teaching and learning framework.
Our instructional model based on the Science of Learning is one that we are continuously striving to refine. Last year we launched our 'playbook' for parents to gain an understanding of how we teach and learn at our school - which is able to be viewed on our website, and now we invite parents to join us for a session as we take you through some key concepts and examples of how and why we teach like we do and then offer you a chance to view the classrooms and work samples.
When: Wednesday 31st July
Time: 5pm - 5:45pm
Where: Foley Centre
Who: Parents of Year Prep/One children
RSVP: We will require an indication of numbers attending as we will reach a capacity for the space. If the link does not work then we have reached our maximum number of parents.Please click here to register
We request that children DO NOT attend the session.
