Health Services
At VIS, we maintain health records for each student to ensure the best possible care and treatment. When a child is injured or ill, they are promptly assessed and treated. Parents can help us provide optimal care by ensuring the school has up-to-date and accurate information, including:
- A completed health history form (attached to the registration form), with any allergies clearly noted
- A photocopy of the current immunization record
- Current home and mobile phone numbers; please notify the school immediately if contact details or addresses change
- An emergency contact number for a friend or relative, including the nature of their relationship to the student (e.g., uncle, aunt, older sibling, close family friend)
Food Service
VIS offers a food service through a trusted, high-quality vendor. During breaks, students can purchase a variety of warm and cold foods and drinks in the cafeteria. Parents may also send packed lunches with their children. If you choose to do so, please provide a lunch box for your child’s meals.
To support healthy eating habits, we recommend:
- Sandwiches made with fresh, natural ingredients such as salad, cooked meats, or cheese (please avoid chocolate spread, peanut butter, or foods high in sugar)
- Fresh fruits or vegetables like cucumber, carrot, or celery
- Biscuits without chocolate or high sugar content
- Water and/or fresh natural juice (not nectar, juice drinks, or sugary beverages)
During hot weather, it is especially important that students stay hydrated. Please use non-breakable containers and avoid glass bottles to prevent injuries.
Please note: Carbonated and high-energy drinks with high fructose content are strictly prohibited on campus.
Bus Transportation Service
We provide safe, air-conditioned bus transportation for students residing in Al Wakra and the surrounding areas. To help us plan efficient routes, please visit the Operations Office to register your home location on the map when submitting your child’s bus application.
