What to do if a student is injured or sick at school

East Doncaster Secondary College has a dedicated Sick Bay which is located in the main Administration Building. It is there to service the needs of both students and staff. If a student requires medical attention during class time, that student will be sent by their teacher to the Sick Bay accompanied by another student (who will be sent back to class immediately). We will then assess the student and determine a course of action. If necessary, we will make contact with a parent or an emergency contact and provide them with the relevant details.

Students are NOT to contact their parent(s) by phone or text message before coming to the Sick Bay.

This causes undue stress for parents or carers, who understandably want to know the specifics about their child’s condition. We can assure parents that if their child is sick or injured and requires further intervention, they will be contacted. If a student is not feeling well or is injured, they are to come directly to Sick Bay.

Students are NOT to undertake it upon themselves to ask their parents to collect them from school.

Students are NOT permitted to walk, cycle, catch public transport or arrange for a ride home from school if they are injured or sick at school.

Lost and Found Property

Dear Parents, carers, staff and students,

We have a remarkable collection of personal items in Lost Property.

Many of these items are of significant value (especially uniforms) but unfortunately, we cannot keep them at the school permanently as we have so much lost property added on a daily basis!

If you recognise any of these items, please collect them from First Aid / sick bay during recess, lunchtime or after school.

Unclaimed items will be disposed of at the end of term.

It is simple but very effective to label all your property with your (student) name.

Iron-on labels and vinyl stick-on labels can be purchased from various websites. Here are some to try, please click on the below links
