Sickness

It is essential that the school be made aware by parents of any health problems or other issues, which may affect a student’s wellbeing.

Every care is taken of students who become ill at school or suffer an injury. The medical rooms are places for short term care or first aid treatment. Parents/caregivers are advised as soon as is practicable, so that ill or injured students can be taken into their care. If urgent medical attention is required, and parents/caregivers cannot be contacted, the school will act in the best interest of the student.

All students with specific and potentially life-threatening conditions have their details, and the appropriate processes and procedures recorded and shared with staff.

We will contact you for permission before administering Panadol and/or antihistamine.

If your child has received a knock to the head or any other significant injury during the day, we will phone to inform you.
