Illness
It is the parent’s responsibility to inform the school immediately if a child becomes ill. Parents are requested to keep their children at home until they are well enough to attend school to minimize the spread of any infectious disease. If the child becomes ill during the school day, parents will be notified promptly and the child will be cared for until a parent or designated person comes to pick up the child.
Parents are responsible for keeping the school informed about emergency telephone numbers and it is expected that sick children will be picked up promptly upon notification.
Please make sure your child is fully fit before returning to school
Medical Attention
We will not administer non-prescriptive or prescriptive medicine to children. We do, however, appreciate that in certain circumstances – as in the case of asthmatic children – immediate attention in the form of inhalers may well be required. Kindly label your child’s medicine and leave it with the Administrator. We ask all parents to complete the school’s Medical Form prior to the child starting school and any necessary medicine for emergency purposes must be noted on the form.
Emergency Treatment
The school has a well-equipped First Aid box and all staff has been given basic First Aid training. In the event of a serious accident, parents or the emergency contact noted on the Medical form will be telephoned immediately.
