Foster Secondary College wins 2022 immunisation competition and protecting against Papilloma Virus, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis and Meningococcal
Congratulations to Foster Secondary College on winning this year's immunisation consent card competition by achieving a 100 percent return rate for year seven and ten students.
Each year, South Gippsland Shire Council awards a prize to the secondary school that connects the most students with the secondary school immunisation program. Secondary school immunisations help to protect against the Human Papilloma Virus, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis and Meningococcal. Korumburra Secondary College came second this year with an overall return rate of 96%. Special mention to Mary MacKillop Catholic College for increasing their returns from 49% returns last year to 74% this year - a great result under challenging circumstances.
Foster Secondary College received two $250.00 BigW gift vouchers for winning the Immunisation Consent Card 2022

Letitia Bullen accepted two $250.00 BigW gift vouchers on behalf of the Foster Secondary College for their achievement. For more information about the immunisation program, please phone 5662 9200.
Councillor Nathan Hersey, Mayor South Gippsland Shire Council said, "South Gippsland secondary schools have achieved an incredible return rate this year, and we look forward to seeing this continue in 2023."
"I would like to thank all of the schools for their participation. The students, teachers and office staff put so much hard work into this initiative to provide information, distribute immunisation packs and deliver this service effectively." Cr Hersey said.
