GIS is committed to providing a safe and
nurturing environment for all students.
Nutrition
The health of the child is our concern.
Parents are asked to include water, fruit
and breakfast daily to the items their
child brings or buy them at the school.
Learners are not permitted to come to
school with biscuits, chips, toffees or
snacks. Lunch is provided in the school.
Parents with children under the age of
one are advised to bring their baby food
prescribed by their midwife or doctor.
Parents whose children have food
allergies or due to religious beliefs are
forbidden to eat certain foods should
please notify the school.
Student Health and Illness Policy
It is the responsibility of the parent to
provide in writing any information related
to chronic health conditions or food
allergies. They are also required to
inform the school in writing of any
medical, physical, developmental or
emotional condition relevant to the
child's care. Ghana Education Service
regulations do not permit children to
attend school if sick.
Children should be kept at, or taken
home if suffering from one or more of the
following conditions:
Medication
Should it become necessary for your
child to be given medication at the
school, parents must comply with the
following guidelines: If your child
requires any medication to be
administered during school hours,
whether prescription or over the counter,
such as cough syrup or paracetamol, the
medication must be in its original container identifying the medicine, the
child's name and dosage.
Injuries and Accidents
In the event of a major medical
emergency or accident, the
Administrative Officer will call the parent
of the sick child. The child will be
transported to the closest hospital and
the School will settle the bills.
Immunisation
Every student must have an
immunisation record. If a child is not
being immunised for religious, medical
or conscience reasons, parents must
provide written documentation.
