The school’s nursing office is located in the corridor on the ground floor. If you have any concerns about the well being of your child at our school, please feel free to come and speak to the school authority. We have a full time working school nurse available in the school.
The following notes are a brief summary on school health matters which you may find helpful:
Should your child require emergency treatment, every effort will be made to contact you. Also, he/she will be given the basic and first aid treatments incase of any emergencies.
Students are not permitted to carry medicine with them under any circumstances. If your child needs medication at school, please hand it to the school nurse where it will be stored safely in the clinic. You will be required to sign consent for the medicine to be administered by the school nurse and your child will be required to come to the clinic at the appropriate time to take it. You may also provide the school nurse with medicine your child may need at school for an existing condition. Medicine will not be returned to a student under any circumstance it, must be collected by an adult, either the parent / guardian or the teacher.
To concentrate and function effectively at school, good health is one of the most important aspects. It is therefore important that if your child is unwell, they should rest at home and recuperate fully before returning to school. This is also to reduce cross infection of other students and staff. The medical team will not hesitate to send a student home if they are unwell or considered to be infectious.
Every effort should be made to have your child’s vaccinations up to date prior to them starting at Mar Ivanios Bethany Vidyalaya. The Department of Health requires that you submit a copy of your child’s vaccination record to the school nurse.
To support your child’s concentration at school, please encourage them to have nutritious food in their snack boxes. Students who eat breakfast and have a nutritious diet at school will manage to perform better.
