Illness

If your child becomes ill during the school day, you will be contacted as soon as possible to take your child home.

Accidents and Emergencies

The school is able to give first aid for minor accidents. In the event of a more serious accident or emergency happening, parents will be contacted as soon as possible and appropriate medical attention sought as necessary.

Medicines

Staff are prepared to administer a medicine provided:

1. The medicine has been prescribed by a GP or hospital
2. It arrives at school in its original dispensed container
3. The medicine is handed directly into the school office
4. The appropriate form about the medication has been completed by the parent (forms are available from the School Administrator)

Under no circumstances can staff give aspirin or ibuprofen to your child unless it is prescribed by a GP. 

If your child suffers from asthma please make staff aware and obtain an inhaler for use in school as needed.
