Children learn better when they are healthy, safe and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as they turn 4, get your child immunised against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, measles, mumps and rubella. Contact your child or school health nurse to find out where to get immunisations or go to\u00a0healthywa.wa.gov.au\/immunisation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schools need a current copy of your child\u2019s Immunisation History Statement. You can get this information using your medicare online account through\u00a0my.gov.au<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or by phone the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) on 1800 653 809\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your child was born or immunized overseas, the immunisation provided will need to enter their immunisation history onto the AIR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is an outbreak of measles at the school, children who are not fully immunized may be excluded from school until the outbreak is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important you tell the school if your child has a medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to complete a form to provide the school with information about your child\u2019s medical needs, and what to do in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out more at\u00a0det.wa.edu.au\/studentsupport\/behaviourandwellbeing<\/a>\u00a0(Student Health Care)<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your child starts school, you will be asked to complete and return a health assessment form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With your consent, the school health nurse will check your child\u2019s vision, hearing, growth and general development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will receive a summary of the results, and the nurse will talk with you if any possible problems are found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children are expected to be toilet trained and dry during the day when they start school. However, we understand that children occasionally have \u2018accidents\u2019 when stressed, tired or too busy to go to the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talking to your child about their feelings is the most important way to help their social and emotional health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Triple P Positive Parenting Program offers free courses that support parents and carers of 3- to 8-year-olds to raise happy and confident children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find out more at\u00a0healthywa.wa.gov.au\/parentgroups<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to regularly check your child\u2019s hair for head lice. Find out more at\u00a0healthywa.wa.gov.au<\/a>\u00a0(search Head Lice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n School health service staff regularly visit primary schools. If you have any concerns about your child\u2019s health, contact the school health nurse through your school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other people who may be able to help are the school psychologist, your child\u2019s teacher, your doctor, or your local Child Development Service<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information including child development:<\/p>\n\n\n\nStarting School<\/h2>\n
