Sickness / Injuries

If a child is feeling unwell or has hurt themselves they should either tell their class teacher during lesson time or a duty teacher if it happens at morning tea or lunchtime.

If necessary the child will be sent to the sick bay near the office to be looked after by the office staff. Parents/Caregivers (or the next available person on the emergency contact list if they cannot be reached) will be notified by phone if the child needs further medical attention or to go home. If deemed necessary an ambulance will be called. Most staff have had first aid training and all attend a refresher course as necessary.

If a child is suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea, please keep them off school for at least 48 hours since their last bout to prevent it spreading.
