FIRST AID/SICK BAY
Here at the College we provide immediate first aid treatment for students in the case of accident or illness. However, we have limited resources and as such do not have the facilities to care for students for extended periods of time. If the ailment requires medical attention appropriate treatment should be sought from a health professional.
With this in mind, it is extremely important that we have current contact details for parents and guardians.
It is also very important that you provide the school with a number of emergency contacts in case you are unavailable or the school cannot reach you if your child becomes ill or is injured.
Parents and carers who collect their child from school for any reason (other than an emergency) must sign the child out of the school in the register located at the Main Office.
Health & COVID 19
It is important that students who feel unwell with cold or flu like symptoms stay at home to recover and seek medical advice.
If your child becomes unwell at school with any of the following symptoms: Fever, coughing, sore throat, sneezing, runny nose or shortness of breath they MUST report to sickbay at the main office.
Parents or Guardians will be contacted and asked to collect their child as soon as possible, return home and seek advice from a health professional.
Students should not to return to school until their symptoms are resolved.
