Head Injuries

Any students who experience a minor head injury at school, will receive a head injury advice notice to bring home.  The Head Injury Advice Notice has a list of symptoms that could reflect concussion symptoms and we share these details with our families because concussion symptoms can appear anywhere from immediately to within 48 hours.

Any students who experience a substanial or severe head injury at school, or during a school related activity, parents will be notified and if neccessary an ambulance will be called.

Please see below example of a head injury advice notice so that you know what to look out for!

First Aid Policy Changes

We advise that we have been notified around changes to First Aid Management in MACS Schools that officially come into effect in Term 1, 2027 BUT are meant to be implemented as soon as possible.  

It is going to take a little bit to work through all of the changes, and we will notify you when all changes are up on the website to the Policies & Forms page.

For now, we have a NEW Medication Authority Form that has been uploaded.  If you need to attend the Doctors with your child, for any conditions that require medication OTHER than: Diabetes, Anaphylaxis, Asthma or Epilepsy medications, please download the template and share it with your Doctor.
