Term

Filling in the online Booking form
The online booking form is an essential part of booking children for Southside School Sport After School Club.
Unless a booking form is completed a child may not attend our After School Club based in Loreto Primary School, Dalkey, Co. Dublin OR Willowpark School, Rock Road, Co. Dublin.
The Medical Question on the form is a vital part of the form for the Company to know of any special aspects of a child’s health.
It is the responsibility of the Parents or Guardians to inform the Company, either on the form marked Medical Issues or by calling the Southside School Sport Office, if they consider their child has medical issues that need to be underlined as critical information to the Room Manager and staff especially if they consider the medical issue may cause their child to be at risk from partaking in any activity in the After School Club.
IN THIS INSTANCE the Company reserves the right to ask the parents to give the Company a letter from their doctor, stating the physical fitness of their child.
Failure to produce a letter from a medical doctor, after being asked to do so, will result in the Company asking the parents to remove the child from Southside School Sport After School Club based in Loreto Primary School Dalkey OR Willowpark School, Rock Road. Co. Dublin. A full refund will be given.
Once the Company has asked for the letter from a medical doctor the child may not attend the Club until the letter arrives. Once the Company has the letter a refund will be given for the weeks missed by the child.
