Concerns regarding air quality for students with asthma

Over the summer break, Melbourne and its surrounding regional areas experienced a number of days of poor air quality, primarily due to the bushfires burning in East Gippsland and Southern NSW.

It is possible that we will experience further days of poor air quality over the next few weeks. This may pose a risk to those people that suffer from respiratory conditions.

As a precautionary measure, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you that if your child has Asthma please ensure that, as per usual, the School is supplied with the following:

* A current Asthma Plan uploaded onto CareMonkey – plans are required to be renewed annually (or if the students condition changes) with your GP

* Reliever medication required (for example, Ventolin, Asmol, Bricanyl etc)

* Individual Spacer

Younger children should give the Asthma Kit, clearly labelled with their name, to their teacher.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
