If parents are uncontactable, the victim will be taken to the nearest hospital accompanied by a member of staff.

Parents may contact the school office at +66(0)76 606204 or info@bcisphuket.ac.th for insurance claims on accidents that have occurred at school or during school activities/field trips.

Should the injury costs exceed the amount covered by the insurance, parents are responsible for the additional expenses. The school does not cover 100% of the accident expenses in any situation.

To ensure students’ security, we advise you to authorise 3 people in advance, other than you, to drop off or pick up your child. Please let these individuals know that they may be asked to show proof of identification to the front office. A photocopy of their ID Card/Passport should be provided and attached with the BCIS Registration Form.

The information above is correct, and I hereby authorise my child to be dropped off and picked up by the listed individuals ONLY. I will notify the school regarding any additions to the list of authorised individuals. I understand that my child will not be released to anyone not listed on this form.

By participating in school life, your child may be photographed, filmed, or have their voice recorded. These images and recordings may be used on BCIS and its partners' websites, social media pages, presentations, press articles, etc., for editorial or promotional purposes. This authorisation is granted free of charge for as long as your child is enrolled at BCIS and up to 5 years after leaving school.

If your child is sick and you are unsure if they should attend school, please use these guidelines below to help you make that judgment.

1.Cough, cold & nasal congestion

A child with a minor cough or cold may attend school. If the cold is accompanied by a temperature, shivers or drowsiness, the child shouldn’t attend school and we recommend that they see a doctor. If your child has nasal congestion, they should not attend school except if it is caused by an allergy. If this is the case, you will need to clarify what the allergy is caused by. We ask that you return your child to school 24 hours after they start to feel better. If your child has a severe and long-lasting cough, consult your doctor for advice.

2. Raised temperature

If your child has a raised temperature, they shouldn't attend school (a raised temperature is considered anything higher than 37°C If your child has a raised temperature accompanied by other symptoms, BCIS recommends that you consult your doctor. Your child should only return to school 24 hours after symptoms are no longer present.

3. Sore Throat

A sore throat alone doesn't have to keep a child from school. However, if it is accompanied by a raised temperature or other symptoms, your child should stay at home.

4. Headache

A child with a minor headache doesn't usually need to be kept off school. If the headache is more severe or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as a raised temperature or drowsiness, then keep your child off school and please consult your doctor.

5. COVID-19

If your child tests positive for COVID-19 or is showing symptoms, parents must inform the school immediately, they should remain at home for at least 5 days. Your child should only return to school 24 hours after symptoms are no longer present. Once the illness has passed, please provide a doctor’s certificate stating that the student is fit to return to school or a negative test result, if required. The school will take necessary cleaning and disinfection measures.

6. H1N1/Flu

If your child has H1N1 or they are showing flu like symptoms such as a cough, sore throat, body aches, chills or headaches, they should remain at home for at least 5 days. Your child should only return to school 24 hours after symptoms are no longer present. Once the illness has passed, please provide a doctor’s certificate stating that the student is fit to return to school.

Skin rashes can be the first sign of many infectious illnesses, such as chickenpox and measles. Children with these conditions shouldn't attend school. If your child has a rash, check with your doctor before they return to school.

8. Vomiting and diarrhea

Children with diarrhea and/or vomiting should definitely be kept off from school for at least 48 hours after their symptoms have gone. In most cases of diarrhea and vomiting, children recover without treatment. However, if symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Upon return to school after treatment, a head check is required by the school nurse and/or principal’s designee in the presence of the parent/guardian for re-admittance. Parents/guardians must transport their child to school on the morning of the head check.

13. Contagious disease

If your child has been diagnosed with a contagious disease, please inform the school as soon as possible so we can take the necessary precautions to keep it contained.

At BCIS Phuket, medication is only administered if it has been prescribed by a doctor, dentist, nurse or pharmacist.

This needs to be updated and issued within the last 48 hours. 2.The medicine must be sent to school in the original prescription container, which is marked with the child’s name, the type of medication, dosage, time to be given and labeled with the date. 3.The medicine must be kept in our infirmary and the child is responsible for reporting to the office to receive his/her medicine.

Does your child suffer from any allergies?

At BCIS Phuket, we believe that cooperation between all parties involved in the children’s education is important, and thus reminds parents that they are an integral part of this effort. As such, the parents will engage in active collaboration with the school.

As a parent, I accept the following guidelines:

1. Adherence to School Policies and Codes of Conduct:

- I understand that my child's continued enrolment at BCIS Phuket is contingent upon adhering to the school's policies, terms of the enrolment contract, and codes of conduct.
- I agree to support and ensure my child complies with all school rules, policies, and behavior expectations.

2. Behaviour and Conduct:

- I acknowledge that the school has established specific codes of conduct to maintain a safe and positive learning environment.
- If my child's behavior consistently fails to meet these standards, despite the school's efforts to provide guidance and support, I understand that the school reserves the right to reconsider my child's enrolment.

3. Termination of Enrolment:

- Subject to local law, I understand that BCIS Phuket reserves the right to discontinue my child's attendance for any appropriate reason to be decided at the discretion of School including where there is a significant breach of the school's policies or codes of conduct. Where necessary, the decision to terminate enrolment will be made in consultation with the parents or guardians, and any relevant parties, to ensure that it is in the best interest of both the student and the school community.

4. Communication and Cooperation:

- I agree to maintain open communication with the school and to fully cooperate with  any measures taken to address behavioral or academic concerns.

5. Guidelines for Addressing Disagreements:

Under any circumstances of disagreement with school teachers, school management, or other parents, I agree to:
- Reflect on the matter adequately before taking any further action and bring forward my perspectives/complaints reasonably without affecting the three important areas: the mission of the school, interpersonal relations, and development of the school.
- Step into the other person’s shoes and remember that two people can have different views on the same situation. I will schedule some time to sit down and talk to each other, listen to their point of view, and ask them to clarify their concerns.
- Schedule a meeting with the Principal/Head of School and put forward my concern to him/her directly without discussing the matter with others

6. Disagreements Involving Children:

Under any circumstances of disagreement concerning two children, I declare that I will:
- Not intervene in the matter directly.
- Inform the classroom/homeroom/subject teacher.
- Let the teacher assess the situation and decide on an appropriate solution.
- Not take the initiative to inform or warn the parents of the other child; rather,  seek help from the teachers, school management, or school counsellor to resolve the matter rationally.

7. Disagreements Involving Children:
With my highest personal effort, I agree to attend and participate in the following:
- Regulate parent-teacher meetings or meetings called urgently.
- Individual meetings with the teachers within the school premises.
- Parent reunions, seminars, workshops, and events where there are opportunities to share and exchange experiences.

8. Adherence to School Rules and Fees:
- I shall adhere to the school rules and regulations and will do my best to foster a fair and amiable
framework within the school.
- I agree to pay the registration fee and all the tuition fees regularly within the stipulated time.

9. Learning Support:
- Occasionally, a family may request admission for a student whose needs exceed the capabilities of our student support services specialists. In such cases, if a student presents specific difficulties or needs, the school may offer a place on the condition that the family provides a Student Learning Coach (SLC) at their own expense.
- If the specific needs of the student were not identified before joining the school, the initial contract between the school and the family will have been the standard contract. However, if after admission, it is determined that the student’s needs require a Student Learning Coach or other additional support of significant expense, to benefit from the education provided by the school, the school reserves the right to retrospectively amend the contract. This amendment would stipulate that the student’s continued enrolment is contingent upon the family providing the necessary SLC assistance. If specific needs are identified subsequent to enrolment and it is beyond the capacity of the school to meet those needs, then (in these rare occasions) the school reserves the right to withdraw the child’s place.

Registration fee: The registration fee is to be paid before admission to the school and is non-refundable.
