The school is happy to administer medications that are needed by our students. However, there are Departmental Requirements that need to be followed.
Prescribed medication
- Make a request/directive on the appropriate form for the school to
administer the medication.
- Bring the medication in the original container, labelled by a health
care professional or pharmacist, to the office. Make sure the label on the
medication shows the name of the student, the name of the drug and the name of
the medical practitioner prescribing it - as well as the used by date, dosage
and time to be taken.
Please ensure medication is collected when it is no longer required at
school.Over the counter medication
Similar
guidelines apply to the over the counter medication including analgesics and
herbal medicines. School staff are not able to administer such medication
unless they receive the written request from parents, or written approval
from a medical practitioner and the medication is in the original labelled
container.
Health Plans
Some children experience ongoing health issues, such as asthma or diabetes. In situations such as these, for consistency of care, the doctor and parent are asked to provide the school with the action plan. Mental Health plans are also appreciated.
