Christ Church Grammar School is an Asthma Friendly School

It is the responsibility of students diagnosed with asthma to carry or have quick access to their medication. 

Students with asthma are identified on the School database.

Should a student in your care have an asthmatic attack and not have their own medication, Asthma First Aid Kits, which contain a simple step-by-step action plan, reliever medication and 2 disposable spacers are available in the following locations.

Disposable spacers are given to the student after use and Health Centre staff need to be informed so that a replacement can be provided. First Aid Kits containing reliever medication and spacers are also available from the Health Centre for tours and excursions.
