Covid Information

If your child is unwell please keep them at home until symptoms pass. 

Thank you for your ongoing support. 

Fundraising

We have many fundraising opportunities throughout the year and our Fundraising contact is our Deputy Principal, Dawn Ross. We will publish events as and when they occur with all the required information.

Health Information

We are lucky enough to have a School Nurse at AJHS. If your child has a medical condition that the school needs to be aware of, or you just want to discuss a health issue, please contact the school nurse. 

If your child is unwell please keep them home until symptoms pass. This is especially important in the present Covid environment. We understand it is disruptive to be called to collect a child from school, however this is an important part of the process of keeping the community safe.

The School Nurse is able to dispense Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (for pain or fever) to your child if you have ticked the box on the Permission to Administer Medicine form, (in your online profile). If your child requires other medicine at schools such as Antihistamine, Epilepsy or Migraine medicine or Antibiotics, please bring a supply to the Health Clinic clearly labelled with their name, and bring a completed Permission to Administer Medication form and a copy of the prescription from the Doctor. If your child has been prescribed an Epipen, please ensure the School Nurse has a copy of the Action Plan, and that your child either carries the Epipen at all times or/and we have one in the Health Clinic. Your child needs to ensure all medications accompany them on all Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) outings. Please make sure medication has not expired.

If your child has Asthma please ensure they carry an inhaler at all times. If they require an Action Plan for their Asthma please supply the School Nurse with a copy. An inhaler MUST be taken on EOTC outings. If your child is an Insulin Dependant Diabetic, please give the school nurse a copy of the School Management Plan, a supply of testing strips, and a hypo kit to keep in the Health Clinic.

It is very important that parents and AJHS manage your child’s attendance together, therefore please make it clear to your child that they must see the school nurse if feeling unwell before they arrange to be collected. If the School Nurse contacts you to collect your child, please go to Student Desk in the Admin Block and sign them out. Students are not able to walk or bus home during school hours for safety reasons.

Immunisations

Year 7 and Y8 students are offered Boostrix and HPV vaccinations at school. These are administered by Waitemata District Health Board (DHB) and details will be sent home throughout the year before vaccinations take place.

Dental Health

For Y7 and Y8, dental services are provided by Albany Children’s Community Dental Clinic. The clinic is on-site and students attend during school hours. If your child has previously been under school dental services then they are already enrolled. If not, forms will be sent home. To contact them phone 415 2059.

Dental health for Y9 and Y10 is offered by Lumino Dental, which will be on-site in November. You will receive information closer to the date. You can contact them directly at 0800 LUMINO.

Vision Testing

Waitemata DHB offers vision testing to all Y7 students during school time in September.
