Back To School 08
21/Jan/2008
School holidays are drawing to a close and soon the kids will be back in the classroom. CFWA offers a free school education service to parents and teachers about Cystic Fibrosis.
Now that everyone is back at school, Cystic Fibrosis WA is offering Teachers/School Carers the opportunity to have our Education Officer call at their school and present information on CF.
By keeping schools informed about CF, we aim to encourage flexibility in programming which will better cater for children with CF in the school setting.
Most talks will be kept to general information, however if there is a particular issue you would like raised at your school, please contact:
