| On occasions, children arrive at school quite ill and we find that the parents cannot be contacted.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IF THEY ARE NOT WELL ENOUGH TO ATTEND.
If a child becomes too ill to continue work in the classroom he / she is taken to the sick bay where minimum rest facilities are available. The Principal or an Administrative Officer is advised, and if it appears that the child is not going to recover in a short time, every effort is made to contact one of the parents. Unless we are sure a parent is at home, your child will be retained at school.
N.B. THERE IS A RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PART OF PARENTS TO SEE THAT OUR SCHOOL RECORDS ARE UP TO DATE AS FAR AS ADDRESSES, TELEPHONE NUMBERS, MEDICAL HISTORY AND CUSTODY ARE CONCERNED.
In the event of an accident, we make every effort to contact the parents. In some cases treatment may be urgently required and then teachers act in "loco parentis" and arrange for treatment. If an ambulance is required for treatment or transport to hospital or a doctor, parents will receive the account for transportation as the school does not carry a blanket cover for all students.
Considering the number of children in the school, accidents are very few. Most of those that occur result from an infringement of the safety rules set down.
Membership to the Queensland Ambulance Service is strongly encouraged. In emergency, the school will contact this service for assistance. Non-subscribers of the Ambulance Service will be forwarded an account.
