Further information – gymnastics exemptions etc.
Exemptions from gymnastics
Anyone who is unable to participate in gymnastics can initially bring an excuse from their parents.
From an absence of two weeks or in the case of frequent absences, an exemption from the school doctor is mandatory.
For this purpose, the confirmation from the attending doctor or the outpatient clinic must be brought along.
Exemptions from gymnastics must be obtained immediately. Retroactive gym exemptions are not permitted!
Sick pupils
We try to look after your child at school as well as possible.
However, a sick person does not belong at work, but at home!
It is important that those affected can recover, but also that the spread of infectious diseases is kept to a minimum.
Therefore, please do not send sick young people to school! Please also remember that sick pupils must be picked up!
Treatments
We school doctors do not treat your child in the event of illness.
For diagnoses and treatments, please contact the colleagues in private practice.
Of course, we provide first aid and treat minor scratches on site. Lice
Unfortunately, head lice occur time and again.
In this case, an information sheet is distributed to all affected classes.
Lice infestation has nothing to do with a lack of hygiene, anyone can be affected! Please proceed exactly as indicated on the information sheet. This is the only way to stop the lice infestation!
Pupils must be free of lice or nits before attending school again! Vaccinations
Vaccinations are carried out in accordance with the decree of the Vienna School Board.
Vaccination with vaccines brought from home is not permitted.
The vaccination certificate must be brought along for the vaccination.
Vaccinations will not be given without a signed declaration of consent or against the express wish of the pupil!
Young people aged 14 and over can in principle give their consent to a vaccination themselves (even against the will of their parents!) Drugs
If there is suspicion of drug abuse by pupils, the principle of “therapy instead of punishment” applies.
Special rules and procedures apply in the school sector. According to these, the school management, school doctor, parents, possibly school psychologist, possibly specific counseling and care facility must be involved.
If all requirements are met, there is no official notification. If the child refuses to see the school doctor, school psychologist, counseling and treatment in a special facility, the authorities (in this case MA 15) are notified. These measures were introduced in order not to immediately criminalize young people who try drugs. They do not constitute a license for drug use! Excluded from this “softer” regulation is the trade in narcotic drugs. The Narcotics Act applies here and charges must always be filed! Smoking and alcohol
