Students who become unwell at school are best transferred to the care of a parent or caregiver. The aim of care provided at school for such students is to make them comfortable in the interim. 
   
Each school identifies the staff member(s) who will care for students who are unwell and the procedures that are to be followed. This role can be carried out by staff members who have been asked by the principal to undertake these duties and who volunteer.
 
The principal is responsible for negotiating an appropriate arrangement for temporary care of students who are unwell at school. Regional personnel are available to assist.
 
In the special case of residential schools, arrangements for short term care for minor ailments may be undertaken as part of the school's provision in the residential facility.
