REMINDER - ANAPHYLAXIS SUPPORT AND
PROCEDURES
All staff have been trained in the management of anaphylaxis reactions. This training has taken place to support and protect the health and safety of students at risk of anaphylaxis when they are at school or involved in school activities. We have a number of students who have been prescribed an epi–pen and the school also has its own epi-pens in our first aid kits. Key strategies to minimise the risk of allergic reactions in students are:
Students do not share food with each other
Wash your hands after eating or touching food
Know what your friends are allergic to
Don’t pressure your friends to eat what they are allergic to
If a friend or student becomes sick or unwell get teacher/adult help immediately
P & C MEETING The P & C will be holding their next meeting on Thursday 4 April 2019 at 7.30 p.m. in the school staffroom in the Administration block. All parents are welcome to attend.

Remembering our Ex-Servicemen & Women on ANZAC
Day in a special way.
For ANZAC Day this year, as happened last year, a small white cross and a poppy will be
placed on every ex-serviceman and woman’s grave in the Griffith Cemetery. Just over 1000
graves in total.
On the 11th April at 10.00am, a small service will be held at the Griffith Cemetery. All parents
and community members are invited to visit and place provided flowers on the graves
marked with little white crosses. Donations of flowers will also be gratefully accepted. This
has been a beautiful thing to see over the past 10 years. Not one of the marked graves went
without a flower placed there by the small but enthusiastic crowd.
