Health

Good health is vital to school progress and care should be taken that students are not sent to kura ill. We have a medical room that is equipped to handle minor injuries that occur at kura, and our staff have up to date St Johns First Aid Certificates. However more serious injuries or illnesses will be referred to the parent or caregiver who may take them home or to their Doctor.

The kura keeps a file of those pupils who have special medical needs, and we ask parents to keep us informed of any changes.

If an emergency occurs with your child while they are at kura and we are unable to contact you we will take the child to the closest emergency centre, this will usually be Leamington Medical Centre. Any costs for this are the responsibility of the parents / caregivers.

If your child is on medication, please call to discuss this with the Principal before sending your child to kura. The kura do have an ‘administering medication” policy and it is important that this policy is adhered to by all parties.
