Lynda Ingram —

Please let the office know if your contact details or address have changed. Working together we grow healthy students.

If your phone, email or address changes please inform the office.

  • Accidents - In the event of an accident your child will be administered basic first aid. In the case of serious accidents parents/caregivers will be contacted. In the event a caregiver cannot be contacted the student will be taken to a an After Hours Clinic.

  • Allergies and Severe Medical Conditions - Medications for specific allergies/illnesses will be kept in our Sickbay.  The school staff will only administer prescription medication to students whose legal guardian has provided the school with a Medicine Authority Form (attached)

  • YSTT has an Allergy and Asthma Policy and one of the expectations in this policy is that your doctor will complete and sign an Action Plan (attached) for your child.  

  • Medication - An adult must hand all named prescribed medications to the office and a Medicine Authority Form (attached) must be completed and signed by a primary caregiver for the school office. The medication(s) will be stored in the Sickbay and administered by office staff.

  • Medication held in the sickbay must be collected at the end of each year.  At the beginning of each year a new Medicine Authority form is to completed for your child/ren and given to the office with the GP/Pediatrician prescribed medication. 

  • It is the primary caregivers responsibility to monitor and replace expired medication.
