Individual Healthcare Plans

If your child has the need for any medication that needs to be taken at school, or an existing medical condition that we should know about, they must have an up to date Healthcare Plan on our records at school.

Please keep our welfare assistant informed of any medical issues that may affect a pupil while they are at school, or any changes in your child’s condition. You can fill in this Healthcare Plan form to provide the information we require or contact us to provide an update if anything changes. 

 

Record Keeping and Communication with Parents

The school uses Medical Tracker to keep a record of those children who have attended the medical room to receive treatment for an injury or medical incident. In order to keep parents informed of any treatment that their child has received or an incident where there has been an injury, parents will receive an email generated by the software based on the information recorded by the school. For a head injury or a significant other injury, parents / carers will be required to acknowledge receipt of the email notification.

 

School Nurse Visit

We work with the School Nurse team, who will visit the school if we feel there is a need, and can talk to students about a number of issues. In addition, the School Nurse conducts an annual visit to administer flu immunisations, ensuring that children are protected against seasonal influenza as part of the school’s health and wellbeing program.

 

Important 

Children who experience diarrhoea or vomiting must be kept at home and may return to school 48 hours after their last episode.
