First Aid as an Extramural
First Aid is offered as an extramural activity. The purpose of the extramural is to educate, and train pupils that are interested in the skills, and methods required to perform basic First Aid.

This will be done by:


 * Courses
 * Videos
 * Practical exercises
 * Practical experience.

The pupils involved in First Aid are expected to be responsible for the First Aid of all home sport matches, with the exception of rugby.

Attendance will be monitored, and the attendance at home fixtures will be on a rotational basis.

Colours may be awarded to pupils who show excellence in their involvement, and ability.

Fixtures Home and Away

 * The MIC of a particular sport, or activity, must be aware of what is written in the Co-Curriculum Policy with regards to First Aid.
 * A First Aid kit must be taken, and be available at all sporting activities, either home or away. These kits are available from Mrs Greyling
 * If an injury does occur, the First Aiders must attend to the injury.
 * If the injury is too serious for the First Aiders to attend to, the MIC must inform the office, who will contact the parents, or an ambulance, or take the pupil to the nearest medical expert, as is required.
 * All injuries must be recorded in the First Aid book which is kept with the Head's PA.
 * Parents must be informed of any injury that may be of a serious nature by the coach or TIC of the sport that the pupil was involved with at the time of the injury.
