Concussion awareness

If your child is diagnosed with concussion by a Doctor or in a Hospital Emergency Department, it is imperative that Parents inform the College Nurse.

 

Parents must submit Medical Clearance Certificates stating when your child can return to school and can return to sport. The treating Doctor will give your child a gradual return to sport instruction sheet to follow.

 

Attached for your information is SCAT 5 concussion recognition tool sheet.
