If your child becomes unwell during the school day, the correct process is that they obtain a note from their teacher (if during class-time) and bring that to the Health Centre in Student Services. Our Nursing team will call caregivers to communicate with them and arrange for the student to be sent home if needed. Students are not to pre-arrange collection due to sickness via email or phone, this will be dealt with by the Health Centre team.
