School Infirmary
The school infirmary is staffed by a qualified nurse who conducts regular medical check-ups of students and maintains a record of their health. If the doctor believes that a child needs special medical attention, the parents are informed.
Sick Children
Parents are requested not to send sick children to school. This is in the interest of the child and his/her classmates. Medical certificates must be submitted so that the child's results are not affected.

- Maintaining personal hygiene
- Exercising regularly
- Sleeping for at least eight hours daily
- Eating a balanced diet
