All medication forms for students must be kept at the office. Students who suffer from asthma must have an Asthma Plan completed and filed at the office. This should be updated regularly. It is important that the school is informed of any ongoing illness or medical problems your child may have.
Pick Up and Drop Off
At Morwell Central Primary School we care for the safety and wellbeing of all our students. Very busy streets surround our school and it is essential that parents observe the parking restrictions when picking up and dropping off children. No Parking is allowed in the drop off and pick up drive through area in the school on the corner of McDonald Street and Holmes Road . This area is supervised by staff before and after school. Cars can ONLY enter this area from the entrance on McDonald Street. Please be aware that parking inspectors regularly patrol the area and will post infringement notices on cars parked illegally.
