Most school accidents are minor and can be remedied by a trained staff member. If the accident is more serious immediate first aid treatment will be given and parents contacted.

Should the parents not be available the school will continue with the necessary steps “in loco parentis” These could include:  

1. Transport (if practical) to the child’s family doctor (if known) or local doctor. 

2. Staff will take further steps on the advice of the doctor. 

3. Calling an ambulance. 

Continuing efforts to contact parents, or their nominated emergency contact, will remain a priority while the above steps are being taken. If your child requires medication during school hours, please ensure that you complete a form allowing the medication to be administered by the office staff. For safety reasons ALL medication will be held in the office area and supervised by the Office Manager.
