Student Welfare
In our Welfare Room, we look after the basic first aid, medical and personal care needs of the students. It is important that parents provide the school with full information about health and medical matters to do with their child.
These should be identified on the admission form when your child joins the school. If diagnosed later, please remember to inform the school.
To ensure we are able to contact you, please ensure your details are always kept up to date. You can check the information we have for you by contacting the school.

Medication
The school needs to be informed if your child has a medical condition and is likely to need special treatment. This includes asthma, eczema, hay fever, allergic reactions to nuts, foods, stings, etc.
If your child needs regular medication prescribed by a doctor, the medicine should be left with the school Welfare Officer.
Please note that we can only administer medicines with a prescription. An indemnity form must be signed before any medication can be administered, and all inhalers should be labelled with your child’s name, class and date of birth.
