Medical Care at Sherwood High
Prepared to Address Common Emergencies with Care
At Sherwood High, we understand that a small accident, like a bruised knee or scraped elbow, is sometimes just a tumble away. That’s why we have a dedicated medical care system in place to provide immediate attention to our students.
The school maintains two fully equipped infirmaries where first aid is administered by our two on-call nurses throughout the day. Each infirmary has sickbeds for children to rest if they need care before being picked up. Minor cuts and injuries are promptly attended to here, with any oral medication administered only with prior parental permission.
For more serious medical emergencies, we immediately refer students to the nearby Fortis Hospital. In cases where a child requires daily medication or follow-up doses, the school nurse administers this with written instructions and an authorisation letter from parents.
At Sherwood High, we know that when children are unwell or hurt, they long for the comfort of their parents. Our medical care staff, therefore, approach each child with empathy and patience, providing not only physical treatment but also the emotional reassurance that children need in those moments.
