Sick Bay Procedures

Students who are sick or injured during class time must:

1. Request a note from their teacher to go to sick bay
2. Go to the front office
3. Office staff and First Aid Officer will direct them to the sick bay room and look after them.

The sick bay is used for up to 30 minutes at a time. If the issue persists, parents/carers will be contacted. For serious problems, parents/carers will be contacted immediately and for very serious cases medical help will be obtained.

It is extremely important the medical information in each student’s file is accurate. If there are any changes in a student’s health status, the office must be notified immediately.

Students who are on medication must have a note explaining the nature of the medication and have a medication form filled in. Prescribed medications must be distributed from the front office.

Please note: Mayfield East Public School does not have any medical practitioners on the premises. MEPS provides first aid assistance to students who are unwell or injured. Please be advised the school does not supply any medication, including pain killers, medicated creams, eye drops etc.
