Health & Safety

Committed to the well-being and safety of every student.

First Aid Training

All staff members are trained in first aid and emergency response procedures. First aid supplies are maintained throughout the campus.

Allergy Awareness

We maintain detailed records of student allergies and medical conditions. Parents must inform the school of any allergies or health concerns.

Emergency Procedures

Regular emergency drills are conducted. The school maintains comprehensive emergency response plans and communication protocols with families.

This page summarises what families need to do. The complete policy is available from the school office — request it at registration rather than after an incident.

Johnathan Academy takes anaphylaxis seriously because the consequences of not doing so are immediate and irreversible. A student at risk of anaphylaxis can be safe at school, but only if the school knows, the plan is written down, and the medication is where it needs to be.

What Parents and Guardians Must Do

Tell the principal. Inform the school principal when your child is diagnosed as being at risk for anaphylaxis. This is not optional and should not wait for the next registration cycle.

Complete the forms at annual registration. These include the medical forms and a Student Emergency Procedure Plan setting out:

  • A description of the allergy
  • The emergency procedure to follow
  • Contact details for parents, guardians, and the physician
  • Written consent to administer medication

The plan should be completed in consultation with your child's physician, not filled in from memory.

Keep it current. Provide updated medical information whenever there is a significant change — a new diagnosis, a change in medication, a change in emergency contacts.

Tell outside programme providers directly. Programmes run on school property by non-school personnel are not the school's responsibility. If your child takes part in one, inform that provider of the allergy and the care plan yourself. This gap is where families most often assume coverage that does not exist.

What Students Should Know

Students old enough to manage their own medication should know where it is kept, how to use it, and to tell an adult immediately when symptoms begin — including when they are not certain.
