First Aid

The First Aid room has been extremely busy during Term 2 with students displaying cold, flu, COVID and gastric symptoms. Please ensure that you keep children home if they are unwell in the morning, as the inevitable visit to First Aid ties up staff resources, leads to crowding in the first aid room and most likely results in a phone call requesting the child to be collected. There will be an ongoing concern in Term 3 about sick children infecting others in their classroom, so we request that families do all they can to avoid sick children being at school. 

Vaping

Vaping, the use of e-cigarettes, has become a serious issue in schools. Aitken staff are responding to this by educating students and monitoring student activity in toilets. Parents should also be informing themselves about the risks that vaping poses to their children. I encourage you to read this article:

Student Accident Insurance

The College has an insurance policy that may cover some out-of-pocket expenses for families in the event of a student injury. Enquiries can be made to the Finance Manager.
