Background

The college records details of the medical conditions of our students so that we can choose the most appropriate course of action in an emergency. These details are usually recorded on enrolment. However, Community Portal makes it possible for you to review the information and to update it. This is particularly important if your child's medical conditions change.

You will need to sign in to Community Portal to make changes. If you need assistance with that, read the article Sign into Community Portal. You might also like to familarise yourself with the article Edit your details in Community Portal.

Step-by-step guide

The steps below show how to edit your child's medical details. In this example, we'll imagine we need to add a medical condition for a child.

1. After signing into Community Portal, click/tap on the My Details tab.
   
2. You will see a list of tabs near the top of the screen. The tabs are labelled with the names of your name, other members of your household and your children. Click/tap the name of the child whose medical conditions need to be updated.
   
3. Click/tap the Medical category.
   
4. A list of the most common medical conditions will be listed on the screen. If the condition you need to add is one of these, click/tap Edit. Or, if the condition is not listed, click/tap Add Other Medical Condition. 
   
   

5. If you clicked/tapped Edit in step 4, the listed conditions will become check boxes. Check the condition for your child. This will expand the page and provide spaces to store the details of the condition.

7. Click/tap Save (located to the top-right of the 'Medical Conditions' section). 
   
   
   After you have saved the changes, you will briefly see a confirmation message:
