Year 10 Immunisation Clinic
In 2024, Year 10 students will have the opportunity to receive immunisation against Meningococcal ACWY and Meningococcal B (2 Doses) through the National Immunisation Program. Information and consent packs were sent home earlier in the year to families.
The clinic will take place next Tuesday 13th August. Students who have returned forms, and are receiving shots, will be withdrawn from normal classes for a short period of time to attend the clinic, set up at Boys Boarding.
