The Role
The First Aid Officer is the primary contact for the management and administration of First Aid in the School. Suitable applicants contribute to the welfare of students, staff, and volunteers by providing first aid as needed and within their level of training, experience, the Department’s provisions on first aid in the workplace and the relevant Occupational Safety and Health Legislation.
This role ideally requires suitable applicants to supervise students with self-administration of prescribed medication as documented, as well as coordinate with parents/guardians to collect sick or injured students and remain with students until their parent/guardian arrives. Suitable applicants report injuries to the Principal and maintain a record of all injuries and illnesses where first aid has been provided and act as a central point for communication and coordination between first aiders.
We have an outstanding tradition of student excellence in academic, sporting, and cultural fields and is without peer in the public system, placing the school competitively against Western Australia's leading schools.
