Anaphylaxis Training:  All Victorian school staff are to undertake the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) e‐training for Victorian schools once every 2 years.  

All of our staff are due to complete this training this year.  There will be the same online component, followed by a verification (in person) part with Alecia.  For teaching Alecia will visit the PLT time to do this as a group, and will create time for the part time staff members.  For LSO's Alecia will attend one each of your fortnightly meetings. 

The link for the online component is below, it will take about one hour.  EVERYONE will need to select CREATE NEW ACCOUNT at the bottom to access the site.

Essential Safety Measures: Twice per year we have a company come into our school to conduct an inspection of our school grounds and buildings.  For each visit we receive a report on recommendations.  In our last visit the the main issues that were raised were:

• Paths of travel and exit doors.  It was noted that there are classroom exit doors that have obstructions and clutter in front of them, not making them easy to exit in a hurry if needed.  All doorways must have a clearance of any obstruction or clutter of at least 1 metre.
• Power boards and sub boards:  These also need to be clear of all obstructions and clutter, also by at least 1 metre.  Most of these, except one, are in hallways; these are now also required to be locked so students and unathourised personnel cannot access them.
• Fire extinguishers:  These are also to be free of any obstructions and not hidden by coats, hats, rubbish bins etc

While these are issues that we need to address, this is actually a very good report considering the size of our buildings and grounds.

Staff Name Badges: If anyone needs a new name badge please let me know by Friday.  I will be placing an order for later next week for the staff commencing in term 4.

2025 Business Raffle:  This raffle is our major fundraiser for the year, with books going out to families next week.  A raffle book will be placed in the pigeon holes of all staff members (except those who are already getting one as a school parent).  You can buy as a many or as few as you would like, but if you do't want them at all, please return the books to the office so they can be re-distributed.

Staff CAN win this raffle, just ask Gabe Ewing who won it last year and had $10,000 to spend!!

Staff Reimbursements:  I have created a new form for staff to use when needing to lodge a claim for reimbursements.  I have added the link here, but I have also added it under School lInks on SIMON for future use.  Please complete this and upload photos of the receipts.
