Student Accident Insurance The College has negotiated a Student Accident Insurance Policy with AON. The ‘Student Protection Plan’ provides cover for all students whilst at school or undertaking school activities (including work experience). In the event of an accident, resulting in injuries as listed in the policy a ‘School Student Accident Claim’ form will need to be completed in conjunction with the College. AON will then access the claim. Please contact the College at student.reception@smc.sa.edu.au for information or assistance. 35
