A URL and a QR code is provided below for all Year 7 and Year 10 parents which will provide access to an online Parent Information, privacy statement and consent form. 

To consent to the vaccination of their child, parents/guardians are advised to: 

  • enter the URL into your browser, select the School Vaccination Program tile and follow instructions.
  • read all the information provided
  • complete the online consent form and give consent for which vaccine/s they would like their child to receive
  • ensure that their child eats breakfast on the day of the school vaccination clinic. 

To improve vaccination completion, students whose parents/guardians have provide consent while in Year 7 or Year 10 and who miss vaccine doses at any clinic, will be opportunistically offered these vaccines at each clinic visit throughout 2024 (Year 7 or 10) & 2025 (Year 8 or 11). 

Parents/guardians who wish to withdraw their consent for any reason may do so by amending their student’s online consent.  The Procedure for Withdrawal of Consent is available on the NSW Health website at

A Record of Vaccination will be provided to parents by SMS once a student has been vaccinated.  Parents/guardians should not assume that their child has been vaccinated if they do not receive this SMS notification. 

NOTE:  If you experience difficulty with accessing the online consent package, please speak with the Mrs Davidson, Year 7 Leader of Wellbeing & Engagement or Mr Hanlon, Year 10 Leader of Wellbeing & Engagement at school.
