School Policies

A school’s dress code can play an important role in promoting a positive image of the school and creating a sense of identity.  There are many reasons to introduce a code of dress for students (eg student safety can be improved because they can be identified more readily and generally, the cost of uniform items is less than alternative clothing) however, it is up to individual School Boards to determine what is appropriate for that school’s circumstances.

This school has a proud reputation when it comes to the wearing of school uniform and our School Board acknowledges the importance of having a School Dress.  This code makes clear the intent of the School Board that students attending Forest Crescent Primary School wear the correct school uniform for reasons of student health and safety.

RELEVANT LEGISLATION

Dress Code

• UNIFORM – in the case of a student not wearing school uniform, staff will:
  • First Instance:   Teacher will speak to the child and remind them of the school dress code.
  • Second Instance:  Teacher will send the child to Deputy to reinforce the requirement of adhering to dress code. This may include a note home or a phone call to parent.
  • Third Instance- Deputy will contact the parent via note home or email to remind parent/caregiver of the uniform policy.
• RAIN JACKETS – As jackets will be removed when a child is inside the classroom, there is no formal outline for the style or type.  The main purpose of a jacket is to keep the children warm when they are outdoors. Children are not to wear jackets however, in place of the school uniform jumper whilst at school.
• HAIR – Hair on any student, that is longer than the top of the shoulder, is to be tied back at all times whilst at school.  This is an Occupational Health and Safety issue. Colour sprayed hair is not permitted unless for a dedicated “Crazy Hair” or Faction Carnival day.
• MAKE-UP– Students are not permitted to wear make-up or coloured nail polish to school.
• JEWELLERY –It is recommended that students do not wear jewellery to school.  Any jewellery that is worn must be appropriate and not endanger the child wearing the jewellery or others around that child.  If earrings are worn they must be studs and/or small sleepers.  Students will be asked to remove excessive jewellery and it will be safely stored by the class teacher till the end of the school day.
• FOOTWEAR – It is important to ensure your child has suitable footwear when at school.  For safety reasons, no thongs, backless slip-on or high-heeled shoes are permitted.  NO CHILD will be allowed to take part in any out of school activity without suitable footwear. NB:  Beach style sandals are not suitable.
• HATS – FCPS is a Sun Safe School and therefore we adhere to a “No Hat, No Play in the sun” policy throughout the year. This policy reflects the importance of shading the face/head from the harmful rays of the sun.  As such, the only hats which will comply with the policy will be the broad-brimmed or legionnaire hat.  The school sells burgundy broad-brimmed hats and the legionnaire hats at the school uniform shop. Brand name hats are not permitted.

Infectious Diseases

The Health Department provides guidelines for the school on communicable diseases.

Below are a few common diseases, for further information contact your local doctor.

Disease & Period of Communicability Exclusion

• Conjunctivitis While eye discharge is present Exclude until discharge from eyes has ceased
• Chicken Pox From 2 days before rash until all blisters have crusted Exclude until at least 5 days after the eruption first appears. Some remaining scabs do not justify exclusion

Immunisation is available for Measles/Rubella/Mumps vaccine from 12 months of age onwards.

The Health Department advises that there are serious concerns about immunity levels to measles in the community. Measles can cause numerous complications, brain damage or death. Parents are advised of the following procedures which should be adopted. The onus is on the parent to advise the school if your child has been immunised, otherwise, we will presume that your child has NOT been immunised.

Please contact the school office if you have information or a query.

Head Lice School Policy

The following is a brief outline of what happens when a child is found to have head lice:

• Child is given a brief age appropriate explanation about head lice.
• A Deputy will phone parents to notify them and a letter is sent home to the parents of the child at the end of the day.
•  It informs the parent that their child has head lice and advises them that, as required by The School Education Act, the child must commence head lice treatment before returning to school.
• Enclose a copy of the Department of Health’s Head Lice Fact Sheet. All children in the class receive a letter notifying parents of lice in the school and asking them to check their children’s hair.
• Recommended treatment is the Hair Conditioner 10 day method. Once treatment has commenced, the parents of the child with head lice should send the child back to school with a letter confirming treatment has commenced.
•  If the child again returns without evidence of treatment, the Principal, or delegate, will contact the parents and advise that the student is immediately excluded from school, until treatment has commenced and the school notified. Assistance will be offered to help by Deputy or school nurse.
• Homework will be provided for the student. Where a student continues to be absent from school without due reason, the matter will be dealt with in accordance with the Absenteeism Policy. Head Lice infestation is easily treated and is not a disease.

The Health Department of Western Australia recommends that the following schedules be followed for routine immunisations.

Vaccine Age

• DTP Diphtheria / tetanus/ pertussis 4 years
• OPV Oral polio vaccine 4 years
• MMR Measles \ mumps \ rubella 4 years

5/06/2007

Rationale

The Education Department of WA has provided to schools Policy Procedures in relation to the administration of medication. A brief description is outlined below and a copy is available at the office for parents to read.

Procedure

Where there is an agreement between staff and parents through written instructions by a Medical Practitioner and Parent/Guardian, school staff can administer prescribed medication.

School staff are not expected to administer prescribed medication or treatments which require specialist training such as giving injections.

Parents are to advise the school if their child requires the use of an inhaler (puffer). The child will be able to self-administer provided relevant information is given to the class teacher.

Documentation

Documentation of all administration of medication action plans and agreements to perform the necessary functions (eg: listing times, doses, dates of medication outcomes) is required. These functions must be carried out and recorded on standard notification forms (available from the school office) whenever school staff undertake to assist in the administration of medication to students. The students should administer their own medication where capable of doing so and have authorisation for the taking of medication. The student may be supervised/assisted by school staff in administering their medication where there is an agreement to do so.

Storage of Drugs

Class A drugs (ADD medication and the like) will be stored in a locked cabinet in the Administration Area. It is the responsibility of the student to come to the office at the stipulated time to receive the necessary medication from the member of the Administration Team who is available at that time. The name of the child, date, quantity administered and the name of the drug will be placed on a recording sheet each time a child is given medication, These sheets are required to be kept in the school until the pupil is aged 25 years.

Drugs requiring short term administration (antibiotics, dental treatment, period pain etc) may be kept in the Administration area or the first aid room fridge, and, are to be administered by  school staff where an agreement to do so has been reached. Record the doses given on the Drug Administration Record Sheet. All documentation is to be kept in the school for 1 year.

Non Prescription Drugs

School staff must not administer analgesics such as paracetamol to students without written instruction from the student’s parent/guardian or Medical Practitioner. The form Student Medication Request/Record may be used with the line referring to the prescribing doctor being ignored. Where possible it is requested that parents/guardians ask their doctor to stagger the doses around the school day.

Parent & Guardian Responsibilities

Parents & Guardians should complete a Medication Request/Record form, a Medication Instructions form, and a Prescribing Doctor form and notify the Principal or Deputy Principal(s) of all relevant details of medication to be administered during school hours. It is the Parents’/Guardians’ responsibility to provide the school with adequate information regarding the details of the child’s medical condition, which may require specific action and/or treatment under emergency conditions (ie: arising from asthma, diabetes, and serious allergic reaction).

An emergency action plan will then be developed, if necessary, between the school, parents/guardian, family doctor and school nurse, if applicable. Copies of the Emergency Individual Care Plan form are available from the school office.

Students should not bring bulk supplies of any drug to school.

Medication, which IS NOT labelled correctly, will not be accepted for use. It is the parents’/guardians’ responsibility to ensure that the medication is clearly labelled, is not out of date and is provided in sufficient quantities for the child’s needs.

A suggestion for children needing to have their drugs stored in Administration is, for the parent/guardian to provide a one week pill dispenser. This way the correct dosage for each day can be placed in the named division and the container sent to school on Monday morning. The empty container will be given to the child on Friday to take home for the following week’s doses to be brought in on the Monday.
