Asthma

Meet Cookie. He is a therapy dog at Merriwa Primary School

Last week, Cookie and the humans who teach at his school learned about;

➡️ What asthma is;
➡️ How they can help the kids at school to better manage their asthma;
➡️ How to recognise when one of the kids at school is having an asthma flare up; and
➡️ How to do Asthma first aid.

Thank you Cookie, the staff of Merriwa Primary School and Merriwa Education Support Centre for inviting us along.

If you would like to know how to have one of our great educators visit your school to talk about asthma and asthma first aid, call 1800 ASTHMA, email ask@asthmawa.org.au or visit https://asthmawa.org.au/services/school/

Staff car park

The car park at the front of the school is for staff parking and is not being used correctly. Please do not use this car park at drop off and pick up time as improper use impacts on student safety.

Readiness Program ESC

The School Readiness Program runs on a Friday morning, 

8.45 – 11.00am. The purpose of the program is to prepare families for a seamless transition to Kindergarten.

Each session provides opportunity for carers and their Pre-Kindergarten child with cognitive/physical difficulties, to become familiar with the school environment, structures and routines. Purposeful, structured learning activities are provided in a safe, play based environment. All of which promote communication and develop knowledge and understanding of specific skills, including gross motor.

If you would like more information, please contact Principal - Karen Macri Karen.macri@education.wa.edu.au or Teacher/Facilitator - Gillian (Gill) Gore gillian.gore@education.wa.edu.au
