First Aid and Sick Bay
Students who are injured or become ill during the school day should inform their teacher who will send a note with the student to Reception. First Aid office staff will monitor students in Sick Bay and a decision will be made to contact parents/carers if a student needs to be collected from school.
Students are not to call their parents or leave school without attending Sick Bay.
Medication
Department of Education Policy prohibits the issue of medications such as Panadol and Aspirin etc by school staff. Students who are asthmatic, anaphylactic or diabetic should carry the required medications with them at all times. Students who have been issued with an Epinephrine Autoinjector (Epipen) must keep one in their bag and also provide a spare EpiPen to the school office to be kept in the medical area. A school EpiPen and Ventolin inhaler are included in all First Aid kits taken on excursions.
Parents and Carers must ensure all Student Health plans are current and up to date and all provided inhalers or Epipens are within their expiry date.
Students who require prescription medication at school should submit the medication along with a signed letter from the parent advising dosage to Office Staff at Reception. No other medications should be brought into the school.
For any questions relating to health conditions please contact the Front Office staff on 8585 1600.
