Personal Accident Insurance and Ambulance Cover

Parents and Guardians are reminded that the Department does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students.

Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance/transport and any other transport costs. Please note that if First Aid trained staff believe an ambulance to be necessary they will ring for one immediately. Parents and Guardians are not consulted before this decision is made.

Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers.

Lost Property

Please ensure that all children's belongings are clearly labelled with their name (not just initials) and grade. Sometimes items are not returned to their rightful owner because they are not labelled correctly or clearly. If you find named belongings in your child's possession, could you please return them to the school office.

A lost property tub is located in the D Block building for students to check for any misplaced items. This tub is cleared weekly and uncollected items will be donated or disposed of.
