Info

THE OPEN DOOR POLICY The Primary School has an open door policy for parents. This means that parents of students in Preparatory to Year 6 have access to their child’s classroom every morning from 8.15 am. Parents gain the greatest insight into their child’s education by actually being a part of the learning process. This policy allows for this to happen and, as a result, we recommend it to you. The open door policy also plays a big part in offering our students the best developmental program possible. It is envisaged that parents taking advantage of this opportunity do so with the aim of helping students in the class. The open door policy is an effective educational tool. The parent’s role is to assist the class teacher in activities such as listening to reading, making simple teaching resources and helping with “busy” activities such as Art or Science. Routine and Procedures 13
SICKNESS, ACCIDENT FIRST AID Information of a child’s health status (eg epilepsy, diabetes) should be provided at enrolment. If this information needs updating due to changed circumstances, it is most important that the new information is provided to the School. Health and Safety For their own comfort, as well as the comfort of other children, sick children should be kept at home. Should a child become ill at school or has an accident he/she will be cared for and parents will be contacted to make arrangements for the child to go home. If a child suffers a serious accident necessitating emergency medical care, he/ she will be transported by ambulance to hospital or taken to a doctor. A staff member with First Aid qualifications will render initial treatment. MEDICATION Paracetamol is kept at the Primary Administration Office and may be administered to students should this be seen as necessary. Prior to administering the paracetamol, the student’s file will be checked to ensure that the parents have given authority for this. Where the file does not indicate that the parents’ approval has been given in advance, paracetamol will not be administered. Please ensure that your child’s records are kept up to date. Students who have a chronic condition, such as diabetes or asthma or have an allergic reaction to stings or specific foods, are required to have a Medical Action/ Management plan to be attached to the student’s file. It is advisable for students to carry their own glucose or Ventolin in the original container, marked with the student’s name and with the pharmacist’s instructions clearly shown. Students who have the potential to anaphylaxis should have an EpiPen in the classroom which should be taken with them when leaving the classroom. Reception staff will hold medication on a student’s behalf provided it is in the original container, marked with the student’s name and with the pharmacist’s instructions clearly shown and a Record of Administation of Medication form has been completed at the Primary Office. Every endeavour will be made to ensure that the medication is administered at the times specified on the container. Out of date medication will not be administered. 14
