If your daughter or son has an ongoing medical condition, their care will be overseen by our school nurse, Mrs Rudd and our medical officer, Ms Tse who are both based on site in our medical room.
An Individual Health Care Plan will be drawn up for students with long-term or complex medical needs to ensure effective support is given to the student.
If your daughter or son has a prescribed adrenaline auto-injector for a severe allergy, they should carry two of these at all times during the school day. They should also carry any other medications that they need during an emergency (ie an inhaler or antihistamines). The school have 4 emergency AAIs that are placed strategically around the school for use in an emergency. The school also have another 2 AAIs that are used to take on school trips as spares.
