Year 7 – Vaccinations

26 September 2025

Dear Parents/Carers

NSW Health will offer the following vaccinations to Year 7 students at our College:

–         Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) on 7 November 2025

–         Human Papillomavirus (HPV) on 21 November 2025 

If your child is in Year 7 you can provide online consent for their routine school vaccinations. Vaccination will only be provided at school if consent has been received. 

How to provide consent:

1. To complete online consent for your child’s school vaccinations, visit: https://engage.health.nsw.gov.au/engage and login using your ServiceNSW details. This is the same account you may already use to renew your driver’s licence. Refer to Service NSW to create an account if you don’t already have one.

2. Update or confirm your personal details in ServiceNSW as required.

3. Complete the School Vaccination Consent Form for your child.

Read a step-by-step guide on how to provide consent online. Translated guides are available in Arabic, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese.

If you or your child do not have a Medicare card or access, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form. Please contact the office if you require a paper form.

The benefits of providing consent online:

• Easily update your child’s details

• Receive SMS and/or email notifications when vaccinations are given

• Faster upload of vaccination records to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
