First Aid
In the event of sickness or an accident at school:
teachers and support staff are Level 1 first aid trained. Several staff have level 2 training.
The school has a well equipped first aid room should children need treatment or are unwell and waiting for parents to collect them. In addition, yard duty teachers carry a "bum bag" with basic first aid equipment as well as carrying a cordless phone for swift contact to the office if required.
In cases of sickness and accidents other than minor cuts, bruises, etc., a parent will be contacted by the school, and will then take over responsibility for the child. If parents cannot be reached, the emergency contact nominated by the parent on the Confidential Student Information Forms will be sought.
When dealing with matters that are considered serious, if no person responsible can be contacted, the doctor nominated on the Confidential Information Sheet is telephoned, or an ambulance will be called and the child accompanied to hospital.
