INFIRMARY
Student Health & Wellness
At our school, we understand that childhood comes with its fair share of bruises, scrapes, and occasional illnesses. To ensure the well-being of our students, we have a well-equipped infirmary where first aid is administered. A trained nurse is available throughout the day to attend to any medical needs. The infirmary is equipped with sick beds where children can rest until they are picked up. Minor cuts and wounds are treated with utmost care, and we ensure that every child is looked after with warmth and compassion. We recognize that even the smallest injury can feel overwhelming when away from home, and we make every effort to comfort our students with kindness and gentleness.
Health & Hygiene Guidelines
Promoting health education is essential to help students grow into fit and confident individuals. We encourage parents to ensure that their children follow these healthy habits:
– Start the day with a nutritious breakfast to provide energy for the day.
– Eat slowly and chew food properly, as it takes time for the body to recognize fullness.
– Consume more vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grains.
– Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
– Maintain personal hygiene by regularly trimming nails and hair and keeping clean.
– Engage in regular physical exercise to stay fit.
– Follow a well-balanced diet for overall health.
– Drink only boiled or filtered water to prevent dehydration.
– Avoid consuming food from roadside vendors and kiosks.
– Minimize fast food intake for better health.
Medical & Preventive Care
To ensure students remain in good health, we recommend the following:
– Children should be dewormed at least once a year, as per their physician’s advice.
– Annual dental and eye check-ups should be conducted by qualified specialists.
– Immunization must be kept up to date as per medical recommendations.
– Students engaged in sports and physical activities should stay hydrated with juices, lemon water, or glucose-based drinks at regular intervals.
– Students attending extra coaching classes should carry additional food to avoid staying on an empty stomach for long durations.
– Students suffering from contagious diseases like chickenpox, cholera, measles, mumps, whooping cough, dengue, and jaundice must observe the prescribed quarantine period before returning to school.
– Students with infections such as conjunctivitis, dermatitis, or scabies should only return to school once fully recovered, with a medical certificate from a qualified doctor.
– Students with chronic illnesses should remain under continuous medical supervision, and their medical history, prescribed medications, and treatment details must be shared with the class teacher or coordinator.
– Parents must inform the school about any injuries sustained by their child, especially if it has long-term effects.
– Any special medical conditions or medications should be reported to the school authorities along with supporting medical documents.
