All student medications, both long term and short term, require authority of a parent or guardian before being administered at school as per the Department of Education policy. More information is available in the Parent Information Brochure.
If you require any further information, or your child has complex medical needs, please contact the Front Office for further information or advice.
It is important for the office to have up-to-date medical information on students. If any of your child's Health Information has changed, please complete the Student Health Care Summary Form along with any relevant forms.
Please provide the Front Office with the following
- medication with your child's name clearly labelled and separated into the correct dosage ie: tablets do need to be cut before bringing into the office.
- either the original packet or a photocopy of the original packet with relevant details
