Back To School 2011
01/Feb/2011
School holidays are almost over and soon the kids will be back in the classroom. Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia offers a free school education service to parents and teachers about Cystic Fibrosis.
Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia offers teachers, carers and peers the opportunity to have our Education Officer present and information session on cystic fibrosis.
By educating people about CF, we aim to encourage flexibility in programming which will better cater for children with CF in the school setting and increase awareness, acceptance and support.
Most sessions will be kept to general information, however if there is a particular issue you would like raised, we can tailor the session to suit.
