HEALTH AND SAFETY

St Anne’s is an officially registered Health promoting School and as such has certain policies and practices in place to ensure children feel safe, secure and happy.

School Discipline

Our school rules regarding the way in which children conduct themselves are few and are based on the following:

• Gospel values provide the foundation for everything we do
• Consideration is shown for others and their property
• Co-operation is expected with other children and adults
• Care and courtesy should be shown towards others
• Common sense should prevail at all times

Parents/caregivers will be contacted should the staff have concerns about their children’s behaviour.

Accidents and Sickness

If an accident occurs in the school the matter will be reported immediately to a staff member and recorded. If the case is serious, parents will be contacted as soon as possible. The same applies to a child who may be sick.

Emergency numbers are important and the school should always have someone to contact. Please let the office know immediately any telephone contact numbers change.

Children's Wellbeing

All medication including asthma inhalers must be named and handed into the school office staff who will administer such medication. For safety reasons children are not allowed to keep medication in their pockets, school bags or desks. Parents must complete a consent form before such medication will be administered. On enrolment we ask for your child’s medical history. If at any time there are changes to your child’s medical condition please notify the school office. Yours child’s well being is our concern.

Hats

St Anne’s is a sunsmart school. As part of its Health Promotion all children are required to wear the regulation school sunhat during terms one and four in the playground. Children who do not have a hat at school are confined to a designated shady area.

Lunch Scheme

s a Health Promoting School, St Anne’s offers Subway as a healthy option on a Monday and Friday. Please refer to our Healthy Eating Policy.

Car Park

The car park is a very busy place, particularly before and after school. In the interests of children’s safety cars are requested to enter the car park via the south gate (closest to IOSIS), and exit via the north gate (closest to the Church office).

Children waiting to be picked up after school sit under the covered area outside Room 12, where parents are asked to collect them. Children are not permitted to wait in the car park or on the roadside.
