2 RSL Scholarship presentation to Stella and Jake Remembrance Day Activities

3 Olympic-a-thon The Olympic-a-thon day and raffle have past and we would like to thank those who leant a helping hand on the day and also thank those who helped their children collect sponsors. The amount of tickets that went toward the raffle was overwhelming and appreciated. We are also grateful for all the work Bernadette Caruana put in during this time. The students had a fantastic day doing a range of activities and the raffle allowed a number of them to go home with something special. The following comments were taken from children about what they thought of the Olympic-a-thon. I liked the balloon volleyball activity because keeping the balloons up was fun. (Ben P/1W) It was the best day of my life! (Tyrhys P/1A) I liked the day because I had fun running, jumping and hitting the balloons! (Chloe P/1B) It was a great day because I liked learning about soccer and working with Ms Coffey. (Freddie P/1R) Kind regards, Mr Baldie, Ms Coffey and Mr Marshall What is asthma? Asthma is a long-term lung condition. People with asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs which react to triggers, causing a flare-up. In a flare-up, the muscles around the airway squeeze tight, the airways swell and become narrow and there is more mucus. These things make it harder to breathe. An asthma flare-up can come on slowly (over hours, days or even weeks) or very quickly (over minutes). A sudden or severe asthma flare-up is sometimes called an asthma attack. One in ten people in Australia has asthma. It affects people of all ages. Some people get asthma when they are young; others when they are older. Asthma cannot be cured, but for most people it can be well controlled by following a daily management plan. What are the symptoms of asthma? A person s asthma symptoms can vary over time - sometimes they will have no symptoms, especially when their asthma is well-controlled. Symptoms often vary from person to person, but they are most commonly: breathlessness wheezing tight feeling in the chest continuing cough Symptoms often occur at night, early in the morning or during/just after activity. They are caused by the narrowing of the airways. If your asthma is well controlled, you should only have occasional asthma symptoms. If you have symptoms regularly, you should see your doctor, and visit the Controlling Asthma section on the Asthma Foundation Website If your child has a Ventolin puffer at school, please ensure that it is within the use by date and is not empty!
