ACCIDENT, ILLNESS OR EMERGENCY
Your child's enrolment form has the necessary information for emergency contact. Parents are asked to advise the school without delay of any changes in their own or their emergency contact’s address or telephone number.
If your child has a serious accident at school, it may be necessary for us to call an ambulance. In the meantime, we will attempt to notify you immediately.
If your child has a long term medical condition, e.g. asthma, allergies, epilepsy etc. please notify the school for the records to be updated, indicating the likelihood of an ‘episode’ at school and supply us with the appropriate Management Plan. If your child is required to take medication at school, parents are required to complete an Administering Medication Form. No medication will be administered without this form.

HEADLICE
“A nuisance, not a disease.” Every now and then we have cases of head lice in school. Lice spread from person to person by hair-to-hair contact. They cannot fly or jump; they only crawl. It is therefore most important that long hair be tied back and hats are not shared.
Infested children may be asked not to return to school until they have been treated. Pharmacies stock the necessary lotions and combs. Parent’s need to ensure that there are no live lice or nits (eggs) remaining in the child’s hair before the child returns to school.
