Health and Safety

Health Regulations
By government regulations, School of the Arts centres are not permitted to accept any child suffering from a contagious infection. School of the Arts strictly abides by these rulings on infectious diseases and children displaying any symptoms of the above will be sent home. This is to minimise the spread of infection among the children. A doctor’s letter will be required to certify that your child has fully recovered before he/she may return to the School of the Arts. It is the responsibility of parents to inform the School of the Arts of any changes to a child’s medical condition. Make-up programmes will not be offered for short-term sickness.

Medication
School of the Arts centres will only administer medication with authorisation in writing from parents. All medications prescribed by doctors must be properly labelled to include the child’s name and full instructions. Please ensure that you have completed the White Lodge School of the Arts Registration Form and alerted the Principal/Teacher of any allergies your child may have.

Custody of Your Child & Safety
It is the responsibility of parents to decide who brings and collects your child from the School of the Arts. Your child will only be released at departure time to authorised adults stipulated in the Registration Form unless a written notice has been given to the teacher informing him/her of other arrangements made. When entering or leaving the School of the Arts premise, please ensure that the gates are securely fastened.

Emergency Contact
If a parent cannot be contacted in the event of an illness or accident concerning the child, School of the Arts will contact the child’s physician directly as stipulated in the Registration Form. In the event that the named physician cannot be reached, or in case of emergency, permission is granted for the School of the Arts to call a licensed physician of its choice and all medical fees will be borne by the parent.

White Lodge Kindergartens and our School of the Arts centres will not be held responsible for any accidents or mishaps during the course of the child’s attendance.
