One of our Stradbroke School students, Caitlin, confidently shared her thoughts about attending the new High School in 2023. The school will be built on the site of the soon-to-be vacated Norwood Morialta High School Middle Campus. When complete, it will cater to 1200 students from Year 7 to 12. $84.4 million will be invested in the new secondary school in Adelaide’s north eastern suburbs to completely remove the site’s ageing buildings and replace them with contemporary learning facilities. The existing oval and soccer pitch will be retained. The new school will be named Morialta Secondary College. The name was chosen with input from a panel of local educators and more than 200 members of the public who made suggestions. The proposed new zone will take in the suburbs of Hectorville and Rostrevor, and parts of Magill, Tranmere, Woodforde, Teringie, Montacute and Norton Summit. The zones of Norwood Morialta High School, Marryatville High School and Charles Campbell College will change to relieve enrolment pressure and accommodate the new secondary school. The new school will be ready to accept Year 7 enrolments in 2023, with a wider intake scheduled from 2024. A school zone and enrolment process will be announced prior to May 2022. Families interested in enrolling their children for Year 7 in 2023 can submit their registration of interest in Term 2 2022. This will be part of the state- wide transition process for students starting secondary school. 2021 OCTOBER Friday 15 Assembly 9.00am (K9/K10) Friday 22 Pupil Free Day Wednesday 27 Governing Council 6.30pm Friday 29 Assembly 9.00am (F2/F6) NOVEMBER Wednesday 3 Principal’s Tour 9.30am Friday 5 Assembly 9.00am (K6/K7/K8) Wednesday 10 Junior Primary Sports Day Friday 12 Primary Sports Day All Diary Dates are subject to change/cancellation based on advice from SA Health and the Department for Education Pupil Free Day Friday 22 October 2021 Governing Council Wednesday 27 October 2021 at 6.30pm Stradbroke School Staffroom Public meeting to discuss Materials and Services Charge for 2022.

Placement of Children
in Classes for 2022
Planning for next year’s classes will begin soon. In making recommendations about class composition, teachers
consider factors such as:
learning needs
gender balance
year level balance
social and emotional maturity
children with special needs and talents
social dynamics (which children to keep together and
which to keep apart)
friendship groups
the number of children per class.
Parents are invited to write a short letter to the Principal if you have specific information about the needs of your
child that we may not have access to. Please include your child’s name, current year level and each student’s requirements on a separate page (not one family letter).
Please do not make requests for a specific teacher. Due to enrolment numbers it is highly likely we will have
composite classes, please do not make requests for your child to be or not be in a composite class. Be aware that
not all requests can be met, in past years some letters have included 5-6 specific requests for one child and it is
very unlikely that these can all be accommodated. If you do have more than one request please write them in
priority order so that we know which aspects of your request are most important to you.
Please place your letter in an envelope addressed to Tanya Scanlan and send them to the Front Office.
Parent letters are due by 4pm on Wednesday 27 October 2021.
Parent information will be considered along with factors considered by our teachers and those listed above.
Only information based on educational criteria will be considered.
A copy of your letter will be made available to the class teachers who make the placements.
A copy of the school class placement policy is on the school website.
Classroom teachers use a range of processes to ask children to nominate friends with whom they wish to be
placed. It is preferable that parents do not write about friendship requests to us, unless there are serious issues.
At this stage class structures are not definite and the final allocation of teachers to classes, which will take place
late in the term, is affected by the appointment of teachers.
Who makes the final decision?
Staff will do their best to meet your child's needs. You can be assured that we spend a great deal of time and effort
in accommodating and allocating children to classes.
It is the responsibility of the Principal to make the final decision on classes and placement
of students.
When will children and parents know about class placements?
If possible, class placement information will be sent home with students in the last week
of term. After that date children's class placements will not be changed unless there are
extenuating circumstances.
If you choose to provide information about your child, please ensure that requests are included in a short letter
and sent to the Principal no later than 4pm on Wednesday 27 October 2021.

What is medication?
For the Department for Education the term
‘medication’ includes all prescribed, non-
prescribed, over the counter and alternative
therapies (vitamins, minerals and supplements)
that are required to be administered in
education and care services.
‘Medication’ in education and care does not
include sunscreen, nappy rash cream,
moisturising lip balm, lubricating eye drops or
moisturiser (emollient) where they are un-
prescribed.
Administration routes
Education and care services can only administer
medication optically (eye drops), aurally (ear
drops), orally (via the mouth), inhaled (through
the mouth or nose) or topically (on the skin).
Education and care staff cannot administer any
medication that is injected or administered
rectally.
Where your child has alternative or complex
medication requirements they may be eligible to
be supported by the Access Assistant Program or
the RN Delegation of Care Program.
More information on the AAP or RNDCP can be found on the
Department for Education website www.education.sa.gov.au
3x per day administration
Generally, medication that requires
administration three times per day can be
administered from home outside of school hours
(in the morning, after school and in the evening)
and does not require administration in an
education service.
First dose of a new medication
Your child cannot be administered a first dose of
a new medication at an education or care
service. Due to the dangers of an adverse
reaction the first dose should be supervised by
you or a health professional.
An exception to this is where emergency
medications are prescribed (ie midazolam or
adrenaline).
Authority to administer
Medication cannot be administered in an
education or care service without written advice
from you on a Medication Agreement.
The Medication Agreement must be authorised
by a health professional if the medicine is insulin,
oxygen, a controlled drug or pain relief that
needs to be taken regularly or more than 3x in a
week.
Medication agreements can be accessed on the Department for
Education website www.education.sa.gov.au
Education and care staff cannot administer
medication where
• a medication agreement is not in place,
• a medication agreement has been
modified, overwritten or is illegible,
• any of the ‘medication rights’ are in
doubt
• medications are injected or administered
rectally
Where a completed medication agreement is not
available arrangements can be made for you to
attend the site and administer the medication to
your child.
Your responsibilities
It is your responsibility to provide the education
or care service with medication and any
administration equipment.
Where possible you should provide and collect
your child’s medication in person. Where this is
not possible safe methods of transport and
transfer should be discussed and agreed with the
education or care service.
All medication must be provided in an original
pharmacy container and have a clear pharmacy
label with:
• your child’s name
• date of dispensing
• name of medication
• strength of medication
• dose (how much to give)
• when it should be given
• length of treatment or end date (where
appropriate)
• any other administration instructions
(ie to be taken with food)
• expiry date (where there is no expiry
date the medication must have been
dispensed within the last 6 months)
Medication that is labelled PRN, to be taken as
directed or similar does not provide sufficient
information and cannot be administered in the
education or care service.
An exception to this is where a doctor has
completed an Individual First Aid Plan, or your
child has been approved to administer their own
medication through the completion of a Decision
making tool for medication administration.
These forms can be accessed on the Department for Education
website www.education.sa.gov.au
Site responsibilities
The education and care service has a duty of care
to take reasonable precautions while your child
is in their care.
In this instance reasonable precautions would be
ensuring your child is presenting for their
medication administration and that the
medication is administered as directed by the
health professional or pharmacist.
Site leaders must ensure staff are available and
appropriately trained to administer medication
to your child during attendance at the education
or care service and during school related
activities.
To keep your child safe two staff will be present
(except for single staff services) during
medication administration.
Each time medication is administered to your
child in an education or care service the
Medication Rights Checklist is followed as
standard measures for safe administration
practices to reduce medication errors and harm.
The Medication Log must be completed each
time medication is administered or when
medication was required but could not be
administered. A copy of the Medication Log is
forwarded to you when it is full or when the
medication is no longer required.
These forms can be accessed on the Department for Education
