2019 Pre-Prep Information Booklet

Health Policy We ask that children remain at home when unwell until they regain full health, as illness spreads quickly amongst young children. If your child becomes ill during the day, our College nurse will take appropriate action and you will be contacted. Please refer to the Pre-Prep Infectious Disease Outbreak Policy on Schoolbox . If medication is required by your child in Pre-Prep, this must be given to the College Nurse who will administer it at the appropriate time(s). Medication is not to be left in bags at any time. The College Nurse will complete the appropriate paperwork.

Once you join our online environment, you will be informed how to notify the College when your child is absent from Pre-Prep.

If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, we require a health care plan from your doctor. For further information, please refer to the Pre-Prep Asthma and Allergies Policies on Schoolbox . The expectation is that all children can use the toilet independently (fully toilet trained with no nappies during daytime). We recognise that some children may require minor assistance and have occasional accidents, and if this occurs staff will assist the child sensitively and parents will be informed.

Sunscreen Children are required to have sunscreen applied by parents before starting their day at Pre-Prep. Sunscreen is provided by the College and is available on top of the lockers.

Swimming It is anticipated that the Pre-Prep children will begin swimming lessons at the College during Term Four.

And Finally.... We welcome you! We welcome your interest and your visits. Please don’t hesitate to discuss any queries or worries that you may have regarding your child with your child’s teacher.

We look forward to 2019 at Somerset College Pre-Prep being a happy and worthwhile experience for both you and your child.
