Health Report

The second round of the Year 7 immunisation program scheduled for Wednesday 13 September is now cancelled.

The Australia Government has changed the requirement from two doses to a single dose of the Gardasil 9 human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for the routine immunisation of young people under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).

A free catch up program for young people who have missed this vaccination has also been extended from the current 19 years of age to people under 26 years of age.

For individual advice, please contact your medical practitioner and/or the Public Health Team, Stonnington Public Health and Immunisation on Ph: 8290 3335.

Important Health Centre Information

Infectious Diseases

Please inform the College if your son is diagnosed by a Doctor with an infectious illness.

A member of our school community is receiving medical treatment which places him at serious risk if he develops infections such as chicken pox, measles, shingles or mumps. Please let the Health Centre know immediately if your son develops chicken pox, shingles or measles. Other infectious diseases can also affect medical management of students. The health and wellbeing of our students depends on us sharing information.
