Information for Parents, Guardians and
Whānau
It is important that we encourage students
into a lifetime habit of donating blood and
making a worthwhile contribution to their
community.
The Care of Children Act 2004 allows people
16 years and over to make their own decisions
about whether or not they wish to give blood.
Students may choose to donate blood at this
session.
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.
If you require any further information please
call 0800 GIVE BLOOD (0800 448 325) or visit
www.nzblood.co.nz

Important facts about blood
   • There is no substitute for human blood -healthy donors are the only source of our blood supply.
   • Around 29,000 patients are treated with blood or blood products in New Zealand each year.
   • A blood donation is separated into different components, each of which is used to treat different patients - accident
      trauma, patients undergoing surgery, people with leukaemia, transplant patients and many others. Blood products are also
      used for immunisation to help prevent diseases such as hepatitis A and B, tetanus and chickenpox.
   • Each donation can help save up to three people - blood donors are literally lifesavers!
