Parent information kits, including consent cards will be sent home with Year 7 students during Week 2 Term 1 2022.
Year 10 consent cards will be distributed to students closer to their Immunisation Day.
Please ensure:
- Consent cards are completed and signed by a parent/legal guardian in blue or black ink.
- Consent cards are returned to the College drop box before immunisation day.
- Your child has breakfast on vaccination day.
- Your child wears their sports uniform to assist nurses with administering the vaccination.
Students who do not present vaccination forms on immunisation day will need to make alternative vaccination arrangements either via their GP or Bega Community Health Centre by phoning Mary Hourigan on (02) 6491 9816.
Post vaccination, students will be given a record of the vaccination to take home. Parents are to remind students of the importance of these records as students may need to show it prior to commencing work experience, travel or work.
