Avondale College is a strong supporter of the NZ Blood Service's mobile blood drive, hosting the team annually at the school, and encouraging our students and staff to participate in this worthwhile cause.
New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) will be holding a mobile blood drive at Avondale College, in the Theatre, on Friday, 24th March, 9am – 2pm
NZBS recommends that students discuss becoming a blood donor with their family. If families have a particular objection to the student choosing to donate blood, please make this known to the student and to the school before the blood drive date stated above. More information about blood donation will be available on the day of the blood drive.
Parents are also welcome to come to the school and donate blood at this blood drive.
NZBS respects the privacy of all donors and recommends conversations around blood donor eligibility is carried out sensitively. If you require any further information please call 0800 GIVE BLOOD (0800 448 325) or visit www.nzblood.co.nz
