Handbook - Ascot State School - Education Queensland

Strive to Achieve
Medication: If a child requires prescribed medication while at school, Education
Queensland‟s regulations state that:
1. The parent or guardian must in the first instance make a written request to
the Principal of the school. Authority forms must be completed at the school
office.
2. The student‟s medication, with the pharmacist‟s written instruction on the
container must be lodged with the school for security purposes.
3. Administration of that medication will be carried out by an adult staff member
designated by the Principal. Non-prescribed medications should not be
brought to school and will not be administered by school staff.
Sun Safe: “NO HAT, PLAY IN SHADE”.
Visit by School Sister: A Registered Nurse from the State Department of Child
Health visits the school annually to examine children in Prep. Parents are
notified if further medical advice should be sought.
12. Road Safety
A school crossing supervisor‟s scheme is in operation. The crossings in Massey
and Anthony Streets are usually supervised before and after school,
8.00-9.00am and 2.55-3.25pm in Massey Street and in Anthony Street
8.15-8.45am and 2.55-3.25pm. Parents are asked to ensure that children use
these supervised crossings.
The Crossing Supervisors are there for the protection of our children. WAIT
until the whistle has blown before crossing the road and ALWAYS cross at the
crossing. The crossing supervisors are employed and trained by the State
Department of Transport.
Road safety issues have a high profile at our school.
Please obey parking regulations. Do not park over yellow lines.
The two minute passenger zones are there for a good reason - TO ALLOW
CHILDREN TO BE DROPPED OFF AND COLLECTED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THE SCHOOL. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THIS PRIVILEGE.
To use the two minute zones correctly - pull in, drive forward, stop to drop off
or pick up at the head of the queue, pull out.
Make sure that your children always use the car safety door - on the curb side
Never double park.
Never call your child across the road to you.
