🌬️ Breathe Easy This School Term! 🏫💙
As the school season gets underway, let’s make sure asthma stays well-managed and under control. Whether you’re a young person with asthma or a parent or carer, here are a few reminders to keep everyone safe and breathing freely:

✅ Take your Preventer Daily – Even if you feel fine, it’s key to stay on track with your preventer inhaler. Holidays can throw us off our routines, so restart strong!

💡 AIR & MART Inhaler Plans – If you've been prescribed these approaches, keep using your inhaler exactly as recommended.

📋 Know Your Asthma Action Plan – Emergencies happen. Be prepared and know what steps to take.

🌳 Manage Your Triggers – From pollen to pets, be aware of what makes your asthma worse.

🎒 Pack Your Reliever Inhaler for School – And don’t forget your spacer if you use a puffer! Parents or guardians might need to reorder these.

💉 Get Your Flu Vaccine – P1–S6 students will need a signed consent form for in-school vaccinations.

🏫 Let Your School Know – Every student with asthma should have a health care plan in place—make sure the paperwork is signed!

🚨 Asthma Attack? Act Fast. If your action plan isn’t helping, seek emergency help—day or night.

Let’s keep our lungs happy and healthy all year round! 💙💨
