Student Health and Wellbeing

At JCSRS, we do all we can to provide a happy, safe and healthy environment for our students, through the pursuit of the following school-wide priorities:

The encouragement of healthy eating and effective, balanced nutrition
The promotion of exercise and physical activity
The learning of resilience skills
The pursuit of emotional health and wellbeing

Our School Nurse will care for your child if they become unwell or are hurt at school, and we will contact you to inform you of the situation. If your child is not well enough to return to class after seeing the nurse, we will contact you to arrange for you (or a designated person) to take your child home.

Our school is equipped with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and other first-aid equipment. We give appropriate care for illness or accidents and liaise with students’ family members.

Parents are required to maintain updated medical information on the Gateway.

You can contact our School Nurse by calling the school office at 2761 9893 or at nurse@jcsrs.edu.hk.

Prescribed medication is administered following submission of the appropriate medication administration forms.

If your child has no sign or symptom of communicable disease and is not under a sick leave advised by a doctor or recommended by the Centre for Health Protection [Recommendation on Sick Leave Duration] but requires medication to be administered at school for a short-term, please read the Arrangement on Short-Term Administration of Medication and fully complete, sign and return the enclosed Short-Term Medication Authorisation Form.
If your child needs to take regular medication during their time at school, please read the Arrangement on Administration of Long-Term Medication in School and return the enclosed Long-Term Medication Authorisation Form fully completed and signed by you and the prescribing doctor.
If your child suffers from a condition that requires emergency medication (epilepsy, asthma, allergy, etc.), please read the Arrangement on Emergency Action Plan in School and return the enclosed Emergency Action Plan fully completed and signed by you and the prescribing doctor.
