Injuries to Pupils/ Emergencies

It is important that the school has on file an accurate record of parent/caregiver telephone numbers and an additional emergency number. If changing address or work place, please remember to notify the school office. In the event of a serious accident, every effort will be made to contact a parent/caregiver as soon after the accident as possible. If we are in any doubt at all, we take the most cautious approach and may require that a child be taken from school to be checked by the family doctor, or in the event of a serious injury, an ambulance may be called.

The staff of the school are willing to administer medication to your child subject to the following conditions:
