First Aid Reminder

Please keep students home when they are unwell 

We would like to remind all parents that if your child is unwell, it is imperative that they remain at home until they are well enough to return to school. Children who are unwell struggle to concentrate and learn and they are unable to participate comfortably in daily school activities.

We have entered the time of year where there is an increase in influenza and other viral illness. Keeping sick children home is also one of the key factors in minimizing the risk of spreading harmful diseases and infection, along with other simple and effective measures such as regular hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes and wiping down frequently touched surfaces.

If your child becomes unwell at school they need to report to the First Aid Room and one of the First Aid Officers will contact you to collect them as soon as possible. Sick children may rest in the First Aid Room for a short period of time until they are collected. If you are unable to collect your child, please arrange for one of your nominated emergency contacts to collect them.

It is important that parents ensure contact details and emergency contact details are current. If there has been a change to information, please email details to SPStudentServices@emmauscc.sa.edu.au

Thank you
