Medical Advisory and Health Guidelines

Medical Advisory and Health Guidelines

The health and safety of our students is a top priority. To ensure a healthy school environment, the following medical policies are implemented:

Reporting Illness

  • If a student is unwell, they should not attend school. Sick children should be kept at home to avoid spreading infections.
  • Students returning after illness must submit a doctor’s fitness certificate, especially if recovering from a contagious disease.

Emergency Protocols

  • Students are only allowed to visit the medical room with a written note from a teacher.
  • In emergency cases, the school will act promptly and contact parents as needed.

Annual Health Check-up

  • The school organizes a yearly medical check-up by qualified health professionals to screen for any health concerns.
  • Health reports are shared with parents for further follow-up, if necessary.

On-Campus Medical Support

  • A dedicated medical room is available for first aid and emergencies.
  • In case of serious illness or injury, parents will be informed immediately and may be asked to collect their child.
