PUPIL PERSONAL ACCIDENT
INSURANCE SCHEME 2009/2010
We might not like to think about it, but insurance
comes in handy sometimes! The insurance scheme offers
a means of recovering medical and/or dental costs
incurred during the school year. Insurance period
is from date of acceptance (we are aiming for 30th
September), through to end of summer holidays in the
following year. The Parent's Council administers the
scheme on behalf of the school, and this year will
be subsidising the scheme. This means that, for a
cost of EUR6.00 per pupil, to be paid by parents,
24-hour insurance cover is provided for the pupil.
Details of the scheme including application form
are given below. The forms will be circulated through
schoolbags in on Wednesday 23rd September 2009, and
we ask that these be returned to the class teacher
with the EUR6.00 per pupil, by Friday 25th September
2009. Please ensure your child's name and class are
completed, with your signature and the current date.
Cash is preferred. Otherwise, if paying by cheque
please make it out to 'Parents Council St Joseph's
NS'.
Full details of the scheme are available at the following

held on the Allianz website at the following link:
http://www.allscoil.com/Pupil_Personal_Accident/How_To_Make_A_Claim/How_To_Make_A_Claim.html
Note that this requires that a claim be made within
30 days of the incident, and requires the signature
of the school principal.
If there are any questions please call Una Ward on
(086) 3040052 or 0402 33726 (Parents Council Secretary).
