First Aid

First Aid Protocol

When students attend the First Aid Room with minor injuries or illness, the First Aid Officers inform parents via an email, providing brief details regarding the nature of the problem, the treatment provided, the time that the student presented to the First Aid Room and the time they returned to class. The email is sent as part of standard procedure and does not require a parent response.

In the case of more serious injuries or illness the First Aid Officers will phone parents directly, or emergency contacts if parents are unavailable. 

In an emergency, staff will administer emergency first aid and phone for an ambulance and call family / emergency contacts as required. 

If your child comes to school with a pre-existing injury or any other issue which we should know about, please inform the First Aid Officers so that we can be aware. We would like to advise, however, that first aid assistance is generally for first aid only, not for ongoing treatment. Where deemed necessary, First Aid Officers can offer some ongoing support to students at school, however please contact us to discuss this so that we can implement a plan.

It is important that parents / caregivers advise the College of any change of phone number or email address so that we can contact you.

If you need to talk about any matters with one of the First Aid Officers, please do not hesitate to call.
