If there is a situation or incident which requires first aid to be administered to your child, school staff will administer first aid that is reasonably necessary and appropriate to their level of training.

School staff will also seek emergency medical attention for your child if it is considered reasonably necessary. Any costs associated with student injury/illness rest with parents/carers unless the Department of Education is liable in negligence (liability is not automatic). In the event that your child needs medical attention, school staff will contact you as soon as practically possible.
