School Bags
School bags of suitable size are very necessary equipment to protect books and materials carried to and from school. These should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.
School Nurse
A trained Community Nurse visits the school regularly to carry out routine medical checks. Parents are advised if a child appears to require attention and parents can also initiate checks for their children. In some cases teachers may refer a child to the nurse.
Pre-Primary
Vision and hearing health appraisal. The health appraisal includes measurement of height and weight. There will also be a general physical assessment (eg. checking skin, hair, teeth etc). Posture, gait and coordination will also be observed. A health appraisal enables any issues to be identified, therefore allowing appropriate referrals to be made.
Year 1
Health appraisal if not previously performed. Vision and Hearing.
Year 6
Vision
Referrals for health issues can be made by parents or teachers at any time.
It is advised that immunisations be kept up to date. If your child has recently started school could you please take special note and fill in the immunisation information on the school health card. With completed cards your child’s developmental and immunisation needs can be observed.
IMMUNISATION RECORDS MUST BE PROVIDED AT ENROLMENT
School Psychologist
A School Psychologist is available at our school to assist children with learning difficulties or behaviour problems. The Psychologist is at the school on a Tuesday and Friday each week.
Referrals to the local School Psychologist are made in consultation with parents and a collaborative problem solving approach is used in monitoring and improving student performance when concerns are identified.

Student Equipment Requirements
Although the school provides most text books, reading materials, work books, art materials, mathematics and science equipment, some will be on the requirements list.
Parents are expected to provide the daily consumable items that need to be replaced as required. Pencils, rulers and ball-points require regular replacement.
The school requirement list from Campion is sent home in November and parents may place their order either online, from their store in Malaga or through the school. Another option is to purchase from the NewsXpress Newsagency at Ocean Keys, Officeworks or other stores.
Requirement lists are available on the website.
