Aim and scope 

This medical policy aims to advise all stakeholders on the various requirements,  procedures, and best practice expectations at RAS boarding. It is used as a guide and a source of information regarding all medical practices and procedures.  

RAS boarding has full-time, fully qualified resident nurses on call. It will be the nurses’  responsibility to refer any medical case to a suitably qualified doctor should this be in the student’s best interest or is beyond the nurses’ scope of practice. All other medical incidents that can be professionally attended by or done under the supervision of the nurse will be carried out at the boarding house, including post-treatment monitoring and care. 

Medical requirements 

  1. All students are required to have medical cover. If your child does not have private medical insurance, insurance coverage can be arranged through the school administration for a  fee. As a minimum, all private medical cover must cover in-hospitalization costs in  Malaysia. Proof of this is to be submitted to the Director of Boarding for administrative records keeping.  
  2. Each boarding student shall have a complete medical history questionnaire completed upon arrival at the boarding facility.
  1. The boarding facility employs registered nurses on a full-time basis. The nurses reside in the boarding facility. 
  2. The boarding facility has a fully equipped and functional in-house clinic that the nurse manages. 
  3. The clinic is open to all students that wish to visit the nurse at the following times: Monday to Thursday 

7 am – 7:45 am

6:15 pm – 7 pm 

Friday 

7 am – 7:45 am 

1 pm – 3 pm 

6:15 pm – 7 pm 

Saturday, Sunday, and Public Holidays 

9 am – 11 am 

5 pm – 7 pm 

  1. During the school semester, the nurse is available 24 hours for emergencies after hours and weekends.  
  2. Only the duty staff are required to contact the nurse if a student needs to be attended to. 6. A first aid kit is kept on the ground floor of the boarding facility. It is stocked with basic supplies and medication for minor ailments. This is to be used after hours by the duty staff for non-emergency matters. All used supplies must be noted on the record sheet provided. 7. In the event of an emergency, anyone can contact the nurse directly. 
  3. Parents that wish to discuss their child’s health can do so via e-mail. Alternately, parents may contact the boarding nurse between 7 am – 7 pm.  
  1. The clinic is used for the storage of all medical supplies and medication.  
  2. All medication that students bring into boarding needs to be handed into the clinic for safekeeping. No student may keep their medication in their dormitories.

  4. Traditional remedies are to be stored in the clinic. The nurse will dispense these in consultation with the interpreter. 
  5. Students may keep vitamins in their dormitory room. 

Record Keeping

  2. Each medical file will contain the student’s medical questionnaire submitted upon enrolment. All incidents (including visits to the doctor or hospitalization) and medicine dispensed will be kept on record in each boarder’s file.
  1. In the event of a non-emergency, but where the student requires to see a doctor (GP), the nurse will make the necessary appointment. Students will then be taken to the doctor at their earliest convenience. 
  2. Consultation fees and medication costs will be paid for upfront through the RAS boarding medical fund. Parents will then be invoiced to recover these payments. 
  3. Should the doctor refer any student to a specialist for further treatment, parents will be consulted for permission. All specialist fees will be charged to the parent’s account.  4. Where possible, following a doctor’s consultation, students will be sent back to school to continue their school program. Should a student be too ill to attend school, they will be granted permission to recover in their rooms with periodic observations or in the boarding clinic for more regular observations by the boarding nurse if necessary. 
  4. It is the nurses’ responsibility to assess whether a student’s health allows them to return to school.
  5. Only the nurse and doctor may decide if a student is too ill to attend school. Parents may not request that children miss school due to medical grounds.

  1. All students who refuse to receive medical care from either the nurse or a doctor will be required to acknowledge this by signing a medical waiver.

8. Students may not force other students to do things for them i.e., Clean dormitory rooms, carry plates, bring food from the cafeteria, etc.

Students that leave campus for the weekend to go and stay with friends or go home are under the medical care of their host families or parents. It is the responsibility of the host family,  guardians, or parents to ensure that all medical care needs are met while the student is off-campus.  Parents/guardians should attend to students’ medical needs as they arise over a weekend leave.  Students should not return to the boarding facility requiring medical care, where possible.

  1. Monitoring the students after being treated, either by the boarding nurse or by a doctor, is critical. All students will receive check-ups in the days following treatment to ensure that recovery is adequate.

questions after 9 pm unless it’s an emergency, in which case please contact the Director of  Boarding. 

  1. We encourage students to speak to staff themselves if they are having a problem or need to ask a question. Please support the boarding program and encourage your child to speak to staff directly.

Parents/Guardians that wish to gain access to the boarding facility can only do so if prior arrangements with the Director of boarding have been made. Parents/guardians are encouraged to not arrive unannounced as it cannot be guaranteed that their children will be available

No parent/guardian is permitted to accompany their children into their rooms without approval.  This is to ensure that the privacy of other students is always protected. 

Students follow a set schedule that includes study sessions. Parents/guardians should arrange their visitation outside study times. Special consideration is taken when parents are visiting from overseas.

  1. Parents are to email or message the Director of Boarding by Thursday 5 pm if they wish for their child to leave the boarding facility over the weekend. This is to ensure proper planning for weekend arrangements. The Director may refuse to leave if not received in a  timely manner. 
  2. Please include the date and time your child will leave and return to the boarding facility. 3. Under no circumstances is the boarding facility or staff responsible for children who have permission to leave boarding over a weekend, public holiday, or vacation. This includes medical emergencies. The host family is responsible for the well-being and behavior of the child. 
  3. It is understood that once a parent has given permission, all arrangements between the host family and the student have been arranged.
  1. The deposit is to be used for incidentals, including excursions, doctor visits, stationery purchases, etc.  
  2. The students will have access to the money through the Director of Boarding. 
  3. All monies not used at the end of the academic year will be returned to parents.  4. All monies used from this deposit will be tracked and recorded with evidence.
  1. The boarding program is designed to prepare students for college and university. With this in mind, we actively promote self-discipline, constructive communication, and learning from mistakes. 
  2. It is important that boarding staff and parents work together to promote and teach the students how to conduct themselves and learn critical skills that will help them after they leave school. 
  3. If you have a concern or question, please contact the Director of Boarding via email or phone.
  1. There are optional excursions on weekends for children to attend with supervision. This can range from a boat trip, Legoland visit, or a weekend away. These excursions are essential in developing social and emotional skills as well as having downtime outside the boarding facility. 
  2. Please encourage your child to attend the activities that are planned. The cost of these excursions will be paid by students themselves and is not included in the boarding fee.  Great care is taken to avoid expensive excursions.  
  3. There is a bus to the mall every weekend that students can use to do personal shopping or watch a movie. At all times, staff will be in the vicinity in case of emergency.  

I look forward to meeting all our parents at our orientation and moving in day! 

Yours sincerely, 

Christian Choyce
