Medical
First Aid
Our primary first aid room is located in Student Services, however first aid kits are available to staff throughout the school. Our staff are qualified to administer basic first aid to students. If in the case a student requires further treatment a parent will be contacted to collect the student. In more serious cases, an ambulance may be called.
Ambulance
If the school has called an ambulance and the student is transported, parents may seek advice on how best to cover the costs.
‘Meeting ambulance costs is primarily the responsibility of the individual or their caregiver. Those that have private ambulance cover should recoup costs from that source. Where a person does not have private cover, a request for payment by the department can be made by the parent or guardian. This is done by completing an online ambulance claim.’ – Department for Education Policy
Illnesses
Where possible, students should remain home when feeling unwell. Should your child become unwell at school, our designated first aid officers will assess the student and where applicable, a parent, caregiver or emergency contact will be requested to collect the student.
Health Care Plans
To assist our staff in the care and wellbeing of your child, any specific or significant medical conditions require a health care plan. We ask that all relevant information, supported by a GP or specialist, be provided to the school upon enrolment or as soon as medical conditions have been diagnosed.

Medications
Medications should be given at home whenever possible however should a student require medication during the school day, strict guidelines must be adhered to.

The school is to be notified immediately if a student has or is suspected of having a communicable disease. The school will then advise of the minimum exclusion period as required by the department. Students are not to return to school until they have fully recovered.
