First Aid Procedures
Students are sent to Sick Bay from either the classroom or the playground with either sickness or injury with a note or a "First Aid" card from the supervising teacher and a short description. Students are then asked by the First Aid Officer on duty a number of questions to describe the nature of illness/injury eg. What happened? How they are feeling? Where does it hurt? This enables the First Aid Officer to ascertain the appropriate action to be taken.
- Details of the Student and the nature of their illness/injury are recorded.
- Parents/Carers will be informed by phone if a head injury has occurred.
- Parents may be phoned to advise of the illness and may be requested or choose to collect their child from School, if necessary. If a student requests that a parent be phoned we will endeavour to do so. In other cases a note will be sent home with the child advising that they have been in sick bay that day. Please note: If a child does leave school early they must been signed out by a parent/carer at the front office
- To enable immediate and effective contact with parents/carers please ensure that the School Office is immediately informed of any changes to contact phone numbers.
- Whilst in Sick Bay students are observed at the Front Office by a monitor screen as well as being regularly checked upon by the First Aid Officer
First Day of School
On the first day of school, children are asked to be accompanied either to the covered shelter opposite the playground or to the school hall. Students line up in their class lines and are then taken to their class by their teacher. The Principal welcomes all students for the school year and introduces teachers. Please feel free to stay with them for the first few minutes of the day. Please note - procedures for the first day of school may differ for Kindergarten students and students new to the school.
