Students who are sick or injured should report to their class teacher or teacher on duty, who will then refer them to the school office. Accidents to students are recorded in a register.
If a student's illness necessitates going home, the school will make telephone contact with a parent or an identified emergency contact person for that student. If contact cannot be made, the student will stay in the sick bay until arrangements can be made for the student to go home.
The School Administrative Officer has a current First Aid Certificate and will attend to simple needs; e.g. cuts and grazes. In cases requiring special medical attention, parents or carers are notified. In serious cases, an ambulance will be called. Parents and carers will be notified of this as soon as possible.
The school's first priority is to ensure that the best possible care is provided to students.
Free ambulance cover is provided for students by the Department of Education.
